Softlogic Holdings PLC has announced a significant partnership between its subsidiary, Softlogic City Hotels (Private) Limited, and the internationally renowned hotel operator Minor Hotels. This collaboration will see the rebranding and operation of Softlogic's hotel in Colombo as an upper-upscale NH Collection hotel.

Pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Listing Rules, the company disclosed that the hotel, consisting of 219 rooms and suites offering expansive views of the Indian Ocean and Colombo city, will be rebranded as the ‘NH Collection Colombo Hotel.’ This change will take effect on 1 June. The NH Collection Colombo Hotel will join Minor Hotels' existing properties in Sri Lanka, which include Anantara Kalutara Resort, Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort, and Avani Kalutara Resort.

Minor Hotels, a major player in the global hospitality industry, operates over 550 hotels and resorts across 56 countries. The introduction of the NH Collection Hotels & Resorts brand in Sri Lanka underscores the untapped potential and opportunities for tourism in the country, especially in Colombo.

Softlogic Holdings, known for its pioneering efforts in partnering with international brands, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture with Minor Hotels. The company sees this partnership as a step towards introducing exceptional hospitality standards in Colombo and supporting the growth of the tourism industry.

This strategic collaboration is expected to elevate the hospitality landscape in Colombo, offering both local and international guests a premium lodging experience while contributing to the city’s burgeoning tourism sector.
