Taj Airport Garden is located 2 miles from the international airport. It is situated along the road between Colombo and Negombo, a seaside resort north of Colombo. Colombo is 18.5 miles away.
On the whole, 120 rooms, including 7 suites and 4 deluxe suites welcome holiday makers. The decoration of the rooms is a little disappointing for a Taj, and is still old fashioned. There is no decoration on the walls to add life to the rooms. You will find every modern comfort in the rooms: mini-bar, safe, Wi-Fi, television, telephone, air-conditioning and tea and coffee facilities. However, none of the rooms have a balcony or terrace. The bathroom is small, but has a bath-tub. Guest supplies and hairdryers are also available.
Renovated in 2001, Taj Airport Garden is a large white 6-storey building. Its architecture is neither very original, nor very modern. That can be understood because this hotel dates back to 1985. You will be welcomed into a large, elegant and lustrous reception lobby. An African-style lobby bar with zebra-patterned cushions will invite you to have a drink. Another bar with an Irish-style atmosphere allows you to watch live matches on a large screen and you will also be able to perfect your skills at billiards. A swimming pool area with a tent for massages awaits you in the hotel's garden.
2 restaurants are available to guests. A restaurant for Chinese cuisine is open for lunch and dinner and a coffee shop serves snacks 24 hours a day The coffee shop serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as a buffet in a large room with arches. It is also possible to eat outside on the terrace. A pub bar with an Irish atmosphere serves snacks for lunch.
?? Expansion and renovation work was carried out in 2006.?? 100 additional guestrooms will be built, as well as a spa and a restaurant for French cuisine.
