이시H크 콜롬보

A stunning, huge 4 bedroom residence designed 25 years ago by a protégé of architect Geoffrey Bawa. This opulent and gorgeous city residence has only been let as a hotel since 2020. It is simply stunning both in its hardwood design with central courtyard garden & pool, and in the works of art which have been left in place by the original owner who is now the governor of Sri Lanka’s Western Province. Highly recommended for a city break. The intimate restaurant is also well worth eating at.

Ishq Colombo was an unexpected delight in my quick trip to Colombo. It is in a safe area, surrounded by professionals and the university. And as the cherry on top, I did not hear a single tuktuk during my stay in this inner city accomodation. The quality of service from the staff and every curated item in the stay is exceptional. They clean your room while you are dining so every re-entry is spotless and prepare the room for sleep including a mini snack in a cloche by your bedside. Each guest is assigned a personal butler who goes above and beyond to make sure you feel safe and comfortable during your stay. I had Darshana who was so so friendly and helpful. Every goal I had, was his goal. As a solo traveler he helped me feel safe by making sure I arrived home safely every day even for late nights out. The food was superb and a lot of breads and sorbets are made in house. It really is a hidden haven that I would recommend to anyone visiting Colombo.

It’s more a villa than a hotel, beautifully designed and the most attentive team ever, it felt like next level luxury. A true gem!

ジェフリー・バワのお弟子さんが設計した、閑静な住宅街に佇むブティックホテルです。 門をくぐると、色鮮やかな植物に包まれた静かな空間が広がり、そこから一気にIshq Colomboの独特の世界観へと引き込まれます。館内の随所に美術品や骨董品が配され、どこを切り取っても絵になるような美しいインテリア。それでいて、見た目だけではなく機能性にも優れており、とても心地よく過ごすことができました。 そして、何より印象に残ったのがお食事です。味わいはもちろん、盛り付けも美しく、目でも楽しめるお料理ばかり。3食すべてをホテルでいただきたいと思うほどでした。 ジャグジーや洗濯乾燥機が備えられていたのも、思いがけず嬉しいポイント。滞在中、こうした細やかな設備のありがたさを実感しました。 徒歩圏内にはコロンボの見どころやギャラリー、レストランなども多く、街歩きの拠点としても便利です。それでいてホテルに戻れば、街の喧騒を忘れられる静かな時間が待っています。 バトラーのAsangaさんも、こちらのペースに寄り添いながらさりげなくサポートしてくださり、とても親切でした。 美しい建築とアート、素晴らしい食事、そして居心地のよさ。そのすべてが自然に調和した、とても印象深い滞在でした。

From the moment we arrived, our butler for the stay, Asanga, was there for our every need. I couldn’t recommend more highly. This place is exceptionally beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice.
