SHANGRI-LA HOTEL, COLOMBO TO REOPEN

Colombo, 10 June 2019 – The Shangri-La Group is grateful to the local authorities and the global community for their outpouring of support and messages of commendations received these past seven weeks.

The group remains deeply appreciative of the selfless service and courageous spirit demonstrated by the colleagues of Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo and the Sri Lankan community in the face of such adversity.

The group’s heartfelt sympathies and support continue to be with those who have suffered injuries and lost loved ones on 21 April 2019. They will always be remembered.

In memory of, and to honour, those that lost their lives on that day, the Shangri-La Group will be making an initial contribution to the Dialog Foundation – this will help provide medical assistance, counselling, scholarships and vocational training for hundreds of families in Sri Lanka who were impacted.

Shangri-La stands united as one with the Sri Lankan community. With everyone’s support, Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo will come back stronger. The team’s passion for service remains undiminished and they look forward to welcoming the public back to Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo.
