Grand Palace Hotel is in an exceptional location on the Muthuraja Wela tributary that leads into Negombo Lagoon. Within 20 minutes of the airport, you won’t find any other hotel that offers a chance to escape and enjoy Sri Lanka so easily.

We are located within the Negombo Lagoon Natural Preservation area of extensive mangrove wetlands that attract a wide variety of water birds including cormorants, herons, egrets, gulls, terns and other waders. Boat Trips on Negombo Lagoon are a serene way to experience the natural beauty and vibrant culture of the area, including boat safaris, Dutch Canal tours, and sunset cruises.

It’s easy to unwind in our pool or jacuzzi. In our garden, roof terrace and stage seating areas you can relax, indulge, eat, drink, socialise as you choose and enjoy views of the mangroves and waters.

Our room options satisfy most needs and budgets. We have Standard Rooms, and larger Deluxe Rooms, Suite Rooms, and a separate Lagoon Cottage with views across our garden and the lagoon wetlands. All rooms have Large Emperor Beds (7ft x 7ft, 217 x 215cm), free WiFi and Multi-Channel Flat Screen TVs, Air Conditioning, an en-suite bathroom, fridge, and Tea and Coffee making.
