For those of you who aren’t aware of the City Lights Rooftop Bar and Lounge, this is a gem that’s hidden away from the cosmopolitan camaraderie in Colombo. Offering amazing views and gastronomic fiestas, this spot is ideal for a quick pick-me-up with your buddies after a long day at work, or a romantic rendezvous with that special someone.
City Lights also welcomes bookings, offering its sophisticated space for hosting events such as birthdays, anniversaries or cocktail parties.
Address
Best Western Elyon Colombo.
102 A, Kirulapone Avenue,
Baseline Road, Colombo 05.
Opening times
10 AM to 11 PM (daily).
Special features
Before any emphasis is made on how great this place is with regards to food or ambience, let’s talk about some of the perks associated with it. The lounge makes for a pleasant spot to sit down and admire the panoramic views for in-house hotel guests, without them having to leave the hotel.
What really tops it all is the fact that the Best Western hotel all in all is in close proximity to some of Sri Lanka’s leading medical facilities, such as Lanka Hospital and Asiri Hospital. Therefore those who are here on visits for medical treatment have a place that’s within walking distance from these healthcare establishments, for a quick bite to eat or a fruit juice to sip into almost any time of the day.
Location
A few kilometres away from the main hubs of Colombo where posh eateries, hotels and lounges are otherwise known to be located, City Lights elegantly rests a little outside this highly metropolitan bubble, but well within Colombo city limits. Situated close to Kirulapone and amidst a locality that is slowly but steadily experiencing an urban sprawl, the vicinity is only a quick drive away from the remainder of cityscapes that Colombo boasts of.
Food and drinks
Serving most continental dishes with another section that’s catered to Sri Lankan favourites, the food is well worth every penny spent here. The beverage menu is exceptionally extensive; while their cocktails are expertly prepared and much indulgent, their juices are a special favourite among most as they are freshly prepared and are ideal for cooling down after a hot day.
Ambience
Being located at the 8th floor rooftop of a hotel that forms to be a part of an international network, it’s only natural to expect big here at City Lights! Sans any doubt, the view offers an awe-inspiring spectacle of the surrounding city. This panoramic sight is further enhanced with illumination that sparkles during the nights, including during dusk as the sun sets and twilight coats the horizon.
Service
All guests are attended by local staff who are friendly, helpful and never fail to have a wide smile on their faces – attributes that are typical of authentic Sri Lankan hospitality. Expect to be welcomed warmly, and treated just as well throughout your patronage here.
