The buildings are in the heart of Colombo's Fort, a British colonial era quarter.
The 'public private partnership' involves converting the GOH into a 5-star hotel and the entire project will result in a 500 room hotel, the information office said.

A very misleading info. So many misquoted info and many 500 roomed hotels in the pipeline. Hope the projects will get off fast tracked and construction begins as Movenpick is lagging behind and so are others.
