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.

Courtyard by Marriott Bengaluru Hebbal has unveiled the much-awaited revamp of its signature rooftop restaurant, Nazaara. Known for its stunning skyline views, Nazaara now returns with a reimagined menu, refreshed interiors, and an energetic dining experience designed to set the stage for unforgettable evenings.
The new menu brings a modern take on Indian cuisine, presenting bold flavours in a contemporary style. From inventive small plates to gourmet twists on classic mains, the offerings celebrate India’s rich culinary heritage with a creative edge. Complementing the food is a lineup of signature cocktails and refreshing mocktails, perfect for a laid-back evening under the city lights.
But the experience at Nazaara goes beyond dining. With a resident DJ setting the mood every evening and high-energy sets on weekends, the rooftop transforms into one of Bengaluru’s most vibrant escapes, where fine food meets music and the city’s skyline.
Speaking about the relaunch, Kadambari Sabharwal Talwar, General Manager of Courtyard by Marriott Bengaluru Hebbal, said, “Nazaara has always been synonymous with memorable evenings and panoramic views. With Nazaara, we wanted to reimagine that experience for today’s guests—bringing together inventive cuisine, crafted cocktails, and a lively rooftop vibe. This relaunch is not just about a new menu, but about creating a destination where Bengaluru can celebrate food, music, and city life in its most elevated form.”
With its mix of contemporary style, Indian flavours, and an electric rooftop atmosphere, Nazaara is all set to reclaim its place as Bengaluru’s go-to dining and nightlife destination.
