Radisson and Radisson Blu's Remarkable Year in Sri Lanka: A Celebration of Hospitality Excellence

By Author

Published on December 23, 2023

Sri Lanka witnessed a triumphant year with the Radisson and Radisson Blu brands, as they commemorated a successful year of operations at their three distinguished properties located in Colombo, Kandy, and Galle. The celebratory event, hosted at Radisson Hotel Colombo, marked not only a milestone but also served as the launchpad for an enticing destination marketing video featuring all three hotels.

Under the adept management of La Vie Hotels & Resorts and owned by Sino Lanka, these hotels have redefined hospitality since their debut in May 2022. The trio, strategically positioned in Colombo, Kandy, and Galle, has become synonymous with a hospitality standard that exceeds expectations, offering warm and attentive staff and carefully curated amenities.

Alan Christie, the Area General Manager overseeing the three properties, expressed heartfelt gratitude to key stakeholders and partners during the celebration. He emphasized that these hotels are more than just places to stay; they are destinations where unforgettable moments are created and cherished memories are made.

Shankar Sreekumar, Head of South & Southeast Asia for La Vie Hotels & Resorts, lauded the cluster hotel teams for driving exceptional performance through effective leadership, a strong cultural foundation, and substantial owner returns in a dynamic year. He also acknowledged the positive trajectory of these three signature hotels under the Radisson Hotel Group portfolio in Sri Lanka.

Andre de Jong, the Area Senior Vice President for South East Asia and the Pacific at Radisson Hotel Group, extended gratitude to guests and partners, reflecting on the remarkable 18 months since the launch of these three hotels. He eagerly looks forward to strengthening the partnership with Sino Lanka and La Vie Hotels & Resorts, with a continued focus on creating memorable moments for guests and partners alike.

Among the trio, the Radisson Blu Resort Galle stands out as an award-winning destination wedding venue, nestled along a pristine stretch of soft sand. Boasting 172 well-appointed rooms and suites with captivating sea views, a spacious lagoon pool, and a dedicated kids club, the resort recently earned the prestigious Apex Award for the 'Most Scenic Destination Wedding Venue' at the 12th Exotic Wedding Planning Conference in India.

The other two urban hotels, Radisson Hotel Colombo and Radisson Hotel Kandy, offer a modern and comfortable retreat with world-class amenities. Featuring 158 and 122 well-appointed rooms and suites, respectively, they contribute to the collective success story of Radisson and Radisson Blu in Sri Lanka.

Thane Gets a New Vibehaus: At Bae Opens for Food, Conversations & Cocktails

By Hariharan U

Published on November 19, 2025

Thane’s dining scene just got a fresh new energy with the grand opening of At Bae, the latest venture from the House of MH04. Spanning 7,500 sq. ft. with seating for 260 guests, At Bae is designed to be more than a restaurant, it’s a Vibehaus, where food, conversations, and cocktails come together to create memorable experiences.

The interiors take cues from Scandinavian design infused with artistic rust tones, creating a space that feels both intimate and expansive. Lighting, textures, and curated music evolve through the day, managed by the in-house Vibe Manager to match every mood. Regular visitors can also join the Baelievers Club, an exclusive membership offering perks, priority event access, curated experiences, and surprises. The playful ‘Bae Wars’ keep the social energy alive with friendly competitions and signature shots.

At the heart of At Bae is Thane’s longest-running bar, stretching over 45 feet, featuring TOIT craft beers like Tint in Wit, Nitro Stout, and Basmati Blonde Ale. Signature cocktails bring global classics with an Indian twist, including:

Aam-Chi Thane – white rum, mango wine, mango cream cheese

Narcos of Thane – tequila, mezcal, jalapeño

Stone Sour – whiskey, Dagadphool, ginger honey syrup

“With At Bae, we wanted to create a space that brings a whole new vibe to Thane’s dining scene, one that feels familiar yet refreshingly different,” said Vihar Paymode, Co-Founder. “Whether it’s brunch, cocktails, or late-night conversations, At Bae adapts to your rhythm. Every detail, from Scandinavian-inspired design to curated playlists and handcrafted menus, is aimed at making people feel at home while discovering something new every visit.”

Chef & Co-Founder Soham Joshi adds, “At Bae was born to innovate familiar flavours, taking authentic regional dishes and giving them a contemporary twist. From Poha Crusted Malvani Prawns to Palak Burrata, we strike a balance between creativity and comfort. Each cocktail mirrors the same spirit of experimentation found in our menu.”

The food menu celebrates global inspiration with a desi heart, featuring dishes like Malabari Tacos, Thecha Hummus with Mirgunda, and wood-fired pizzas. At Bae is more than food, it’s a destination to connect, unwind, and belong. Here, BAE can be anyone — a friend, family, loved one, or even the space itself.

About At Bae

At Bae, from the House of MH04, is Thane’s newest all-day dining and social destination. Combining global flavours with local soul, the 7,500 sq. ft. venue offers wood-fired pizzas, craft beers, and an experiential menu celebrating both international inspiration and Indian creativity. With vibe-led interiors, curated cocktails, and a focus on connection, At Bae is designed as a modern community hub where every meal and moment is meant to be shared.
