I probably would have accepted it if I was made to feel like a guest. (BTW, no alcohol license.)

I left and went to the TAJ. They have completely renovated the club level rooms and they are absolutely 5*. There are problems with the service and some issues with the quality of the renovation but certainly the best in Colombo.
