I found L.A.B to be my go to place in the evenings while vacationing in Colombo. If you’re looking for good drinks, food, and entertainment under one roof, you cannot ask for a better place than the L.A.B at Colombo Hilton. I was a guest...at the Hilton for 2 weeks during Christmas. I must say I had a wonderful stay overall and sure to stay there again during my next visit to Sri Lanka. The facility, food, and hotel amenities were up to five star standards, but the exceptional service made my stay one of the more memorable ones in recent times. I have been to many countries and have stayed at many hotels over the years; however, I have never experienced such a polite, respectful, and efficient service elsewhere. Although the L.A.B is open from 8am to midnight, it usually comes to life in the afternoon with their daily high-tea service, starting at 3pm. The buffet style tea service along with lobby music makes it a very relaxing atmosphere. Alcohol is also served throughout the day to make it even more relaxing for people who seek that. And the evenings usually get better with live bands playing at the bar from dinner time till midnight. I have had the pleasure of listening to some of the best local bands while was there. I would like to shout out Vinuri and Chandral of “The Kings” and Marlon and Joe of “Omega” for your excellent entertainment. Special thanks to Bar captain, Rasika and bartender, Jude for their wonderful service. You guys Rock! You guys are made for the hospitality industry and management should take note of your value as exceptional employees. I would also like to thank L.A.B manager for his service. I do apologize for not remembering your name, but I do remember your smiling face and courteous service. Thank you very much for every thing! Sanoj from CaliforniaMore
