Where - Hilton Colombo 
Who - Manesh Fernando 

Today on WTF I visited the all new Hilton Colombo, as it unveils phase 1 of the refurbishment project, with the opening of all day dining restaurant Graze Kitchen and LAB Lounge & Bar. 

The Hilton Colombo is looking fabulous, and it's becoming the new place which is going to be constantly buzzing. The hospitality and the choices on the menu is simply wonderful. 

The official opening of the newly refurbished two outlets GRAZE KITCHEN and LAB Lounge and Bar took place on September 23. Graze Kitchen is truly a theatre of dining experience that will evoke the senses. As a pioneer in the hospitality trade Hilton Colombo has always prided itself in providing an impeccable service and continues to make revolutionary strides in the field of food and beverage. The teams’ dedication and commitment to the brand and passion to push the envelope, has been the foundation of our continuous growth as a brand that has elevated the benchmark for service standards and this new experience in dining will not disappoint its clientele. 

And “even through the refurbishment time, the true Hilton fans never let the brand down” and adding “Every guest who walks in to the restaurant will be experiencing a world class service from the dedicated team members who have been working around the clock for the last couple of months. I am truly proud of the team and what we have to offer our guests” says Manesh Fernando, General Manager, Hilton Colombo. 

The 709 square-meter all-day dining restaurant, GRAZE KITCHEN is a multifaceted restaurant showcasing a live and interactive dining experience with high energy serving team members. Contemporary in design, the atmosphere at GRAZE KITCHEN is inspired by nature with organic sculptural features and lighting, and warm natural earthen colour tones. The birds' nest inspired chandelier with four distinct venue spaces that offer guests different ambient and visual cues, lighting that changes from day to night to create a subtle change in mood and environment. In addition to the show kitchen experience there is alfresco dining on the deck. The restaurant that could accommodate up to 240 is opened for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a la carte menu option as well. 

For a perfect evening chill, step into L.A.B; the Lobby Lounge and Bar and treat yourself to a truly unique lounging experience. Centrally themed around the waning rainforests of Sri Lanka, guests are invited to reminisce in this abstracted indoor Tropicana. Beautiful Brazilian snow fox granite paves the floor, sweeping from the arrival hall all the way through the lobby lounge and bar, leading the eye to the windows fringing the bar which looks out into the lotus pond. 

In total it’s the place to enjoy and hang out, check it out and experience hospitality at its best.
