The pool
Taprobane House is on St Kilda's Lane in Colombo 03, with its pool on a rooftop terrace. The hotel describes a sunset pool with sea and city views, and the deck is set up with loungers and towels. The floor and pool size are not published.
Our take
Amari Colombo publishes its pool floor (26th). Taprobane House doesn't, so you can't judge height from the listing. What it does give is step-free access from the car park to the room and the pool, a detail ITC Ratnadipa, ME and Sofia don't mention.
Access is the weak point. Whether non-guests can swim is unstated, and no hotel on our list sells day passes. A room booking is the only sure way in.
