Thanks, will do some digging. Considered amanwella, but almost too safe and not available on our dates. I also think I can do better on overall value, bc I care less about polished service...

Stayed at Casa Colombo when it first opened, it's "interesting" not luxe imo. Park Street folks negotiated a corp rate, so I stayed there a ton.

Would love to find a just opened place w cool boutique feel, even if service really suffers. Had many such stays at places in Sri Lanka. Guess I need to do the research I have done in past to find other gems there.

Boutique Luxury hotels in Colombo? People seem to love "Casa Colombo" however while it is nice I don't think it can fall into the luxury area. The 2 Amans are supposed to be good- this being said while I agree with 1 the other in Galle really treated me rudely and I would not go back there. That said- there are tons of very good Boutique hotels in and around Galle although more at the 4* level than luxury. We stayed recently at Galle on 44 and it was excellent.
