Ramada by Wyndham Colombo

What Ramada by Wyndham Colombo does

Ramada by Wyndham Colombo is a four-star hotel located in Colombo 03, Sri Lanka, operating 94 guest rooms across multiple categories (King Deluxe, Twin Deluxe, Premier Suite, Splendour Suite) with IPTV-enabled smart-room technology that allows guests to access in-room dining, bill viewing, and other services via 42-inch LED televisions. The property is owned and managed by Alhambra Hotels Limited, a privately held Sri Lankan company founded by Mr Jabir A. Cader in 1974, and has operated as a franchise of international hotel brands for nearly five decades - first as Holiday Inn for 35 years, and since 2009 under Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, with the current Ramada by Wyndham branding formalized in 2018 under the 'by Wyndham' endorsement strategy.

The hotel operates a diversified revenue model spanning five streams: room accommodations, food and beverage (four restaurants - Alhambra Indian, Gardenia Coffee Shop, Mizu Japanese Fusion, Baked Patisserie - plus Oasis Lounge Bar and The Secret Garden), banquets and events (anchored by the 9,000 sq ft Liberty Ballroom with 900-guest capacity, supplemented by Persian Room, Hazel Room, and Think Board Room), spa and wellness (Ayu Balinese Spa, fitness center, outdoor pool with Jacuzzi, steam and sauna), and an online food delivery service (onlineorders.ramadacolombo.com) covering Colombo 1-15 and adjacent suburbs. Pricing is published in LKR for F&B events (e.g., Rs. 3,990 net per person wedding package, LKR 2,200 high tea buffet) and USD for international packages (US$180 honeymoon).

The asset is operated within the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts franchise network, providing global distribution through ramada.com, integration with the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program, and access to international brand standards. The property holds the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority's Safe and Secure Certificate of Compliance (awarded November 17, 2020 after a KPMG audit). Customer segments are hybrid: business travelers (conferences, meetings, corporate events) and leisure travelers (honeymoons, family vacations) are primary, while wedding and event planners are a secondary use-case segment. GTM is direct-to-consumer via walk-in, phone reservations, hotel website, and the Wyndham platform; no app, no API, no disclosed technology integrations.
