Nestled between the shady Park Street and the tranquil lakeside Buddhist temple of Gangarama, Uga Residence is one of the most lavish boutique hotels in Colombo.

Built back in the 19th Century by a wealthy barrister by the name of Sheikh Salehboy Moosajee, this Victorian townhouse once welcomed governors, maharajas, nobility, and the cream of Ceylon’s colonial society.

Today, Uga Residence is a unique 11-suite hotel in Colombo, offering guests the perfect secluded spot from which to explore the bustling commercial heart of Sri Lanka.
