Hilton Colombo Residences has recently launched its in-house water bottling plant as a part of contribution towards its continuous efforts on road to sustainability. 

The plant was officially opened by the outgoing General Manager Karim Schadlou and incoming General Manager Linda Giebing in August.

According to Hilton Colombo, the bottling plant is housed within the hotel premises and has the capacity to sanitise bottles, distil, and seal 400 bottles of water a day catering to the requirements of its guests.

Furthermore, the hotel has replaced its plastic guest room water bottles with reusable glass bottles in its efforts to reduce the usage of plastic. In the past, the hotel would discard up to 10,000 water bottles per month; with the water bottling plant, this has been eliminated. 

The hotel has also recruited its first differently-abled team member whose vocal and auditory perception is impaired to operate the water bottling plant. Shyamal Chinthaka who is  37-year-old hails from Borelesgamuwa has completed his G.C.E Ordinary Level at The School for the Deaf Ratmalana. 

The recruitment of Shyamal is a testament to the brands commitment to its communities with the global program of Diversity and Inclusion.

Located in the heart of Colombo City, Hilton Colombo Residence offers guest rooms and suites with panoramic views of the city, harbour or the Indian Ocean. Boasting an outdoor pool, it also has a fitness centre, squash court and tennis court.

The hotel is a 30-minute drive from Colombo International Airport making it an ideal destination for business, leisure or family.
