Jetwing Hotels has announced a major portfolio restructure, introducing a fresh branding strategy designed to meet the needs of today's diverse travellers. The move marks a significant step for the Sri Lankan hospitality giant as it evolves to align with modern travel trends and guest expectations.

Under the new structure, Jetwing’s properties will be grouped into four clear segments: Jetwing Luxury Reserves, Jetwing Premium Hotels, Select Hotels, and Essentials. This shift from the earlier "Hotels" and "Villas" categories aims to make it easier for guests to choose the experiences that best suit their preferences and budgets.

At the pinnacle of the new portfolio is Jetwing Luxury Reserves, featuring 5-star flagship properties offering exclusive, personalised experiences. With stunning architecture, gourmet dining, and bespoke service, these hotels promise not just a stay but a transformative journey into luxury.

Jetwing Premium Hotels will present a blend of contemporary comfort and Sri Lanka’s rich heritage. This 4-star and 5-star collection offers full-service accommodations, warm hospitality, and immersive experiences rooted in local culture, perfect for guests seeking refinement and relaxation.

Select Hotels will cater to travellers looking for authentic Sri Lankan experiences at an accessible price. While these properties do not carry the Jetwing brand name, they uphold its signature warmth and service. Popular destinations like Hotel Sigiriyaaya, the award-winning Mermaid Hotel and Club in Kalutara, and Meena Amma’s Tea Experience in Ambewela are part of this collection.

For budget-conscious adventurers, Essentials offers simple, comfortable, and practical stays. Brands like Hotel J and City Beds focus on essential travel needs, providing reliable hospitality at central locations across Sri Lanka.

"Today, after the turmoil we all faced for over four years, we are more optimistic than ever about the growth potential of our industry and its role in transforming Sri Lanka's economy," said Hashan Cooray, Director of Marketing and Development. "With this in mind, we felt it was time to bring more clarity to our branding as we now operate over 35 properties around our paradise island."

Staying true to its legacy, Jetwing Hotels continues to champion sustainability and service excellence across all categories. Whether it’s the indulgent privacy of Luxury Reserves, the timeless elegance of Premium Hotels, the vibrant local flavour of Select Hotels, or the practical simplicity of Essentials, Jetwing Hotels remains committed to creating meaningful journeys that celebrate Sri Lanka’s beauty, culture, and spirit.
