The hotel, built adjoining the Galle Face green, would offer 500 rooms and suites and 41 serviced apartments under the first stage. Built on a 10 acre land, the second stage would include an office tower, two residential buildings and a high-end shopping mall.

Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts Initially planned to spend US$500 mn (RM2.1 bn) on the Colombo project and the Hambantota resort but later the company said the cost had gone up by at least 10% to US$550 mn (RM2.3 bn) due to design changes.
