Next Hotel Colombo featuring Kafnu will be opening its doors to visitors both here and overseas in the fourth quarter this year marking the revival of tourism and business in Sri Lanka erasing the bitter memories of Easter terror.
The hotel is the perfect launch pad to explore the rich culture and natural beauty of Sri Lanka and it is also among the best venues in Colombo for corporate meetings, Next Story Group company officials said.
Next Story Group creates and transforms urban spaces into thriving communities by harnessing the power of human imagination and innovation.
The Group is currently expanding across Asia Pacific markets in 2019 with its successful hotel brand Next Hotels and genre-defining urban lifestyle concept, Kafnu.
Next Hotel Colombo will be located in the iconic Colombo City Centre, a premier lifestyle destination in Sri Lanka.
Colombo City Centre is a mixed-use development which consists of a Next Hotel, luxury apartments and the first international shopping mall in the country.
The hotel provides direct access to this upscale mall which has more than 50 international brands, 20 food and beverage outlets, a six screen cineplex and a virtual reality world.
Next Hotel Colombo will occupy the 8th to the 17th floor of the iconic 47-storey building within Colombo City Centre.
The hotel will showcase the hallmarks of the upper upscale Next Hotels brand, which offers modern, innovative hospitality and focuses on empathetic and efficient service to deliver a uniquely stimulating experience with every visit.
Public areas and the Kafnu space within the hotel will be designed to be engaging and will provide the right ambience to encourage guests to share experiences and ideas.
Next Hotel Colombo will have 164 guest rooms and suites over 8 floors from the 10th floor, with stunning views of the city skyline and the India Ocean.
The hotel is also the ideal venue for corporate meetings and social functions for up to 100 guests.
Colombo is known as the world’s No.1 “must photograph” destination. It has also been ranked top place to travel to in the world in 2019 by Lonely Planet.
Next Hotel Colombo will feature the first Kafnu within a Next Hotel. Conceptualized as an urban village for the new generation of creators, Kafnu is a physical, intellectual and social launch pad for today’s trailblazers.
It is designed for its members to co-create, co-explore and collaborate in an open and supportive environment that elevates their individual and collective potential.
Kafnu members enjoy access to strategic partnerships, premium services and private events.
A members-only club, Kafnu Colombo will join the Kafnu network which includes Hong Kong, Taipei, Bengaluru, Ho Chi Minh City and Sydney.
