An infinity pool with Indian Ocean and Colombo cityscape views is the draw here. Floor, hours and who can swim are missing from the hotel's pages, so confirm those before you book.

The pool

Sofia Colombo City Hotel is at 295 Galle Rd in Colombo 03. Its infinity pool sits on an expansive rooftop area the hotel calls Skyscape, with views of the Indian Ocean and the Colombo cityscape. The floor and the pool size are not published.

Our take

Sofia is one of several hotels on our list with no published floor, and Amari Colombo's 26th floor is the benchmark for height. Sofia makes up for it by naming the pool type and the view direction, which Taprobane House leaves vague.

Access is the catch. Whether non-guests can swim is unstated, and there is no day pass on sale. Its 4.4 Google rating from 1370 reviews says little about the pool itself.

Good to know

  • Infinity pool on the Skyscape rooftop area
