Our Story
A Dream Called Mon Ami
It all began with a dream. Many years ago, while wandering the charming streets of France, we were inspired by the elegance of French hospitality. We thought, “Why not bring that same touch of sophistication to Sri Lanka?” We envisioned a place where the warmth of Sri Lankan “Ayubowan” meets the grace of French “Bonjour” a unique blend of local charm and global inspiration.
Fast forward to September 2022, when our dream became a reality. Mon Ami City Hotel, now regarded as one of the best hotels in Negombo, was thoughtfully designed to make every guest feel at home. From heartfelt welcomes to every detail in our services, we built a hotel that redefines hospitality—not through extravagance, but through sincerity and genuine care.
Why the name “Mon Ami”? In French, it means “my friend,” reflecting our commitment to treating every guest like family. At Mon Ami City Hotel, your comfort and happiness are at the heart of everything we do.
Welcome to Mon Ami City Hotel, the best hotel in Negombo and your home away from home. Every stay with us is a new story waiting to unfold.
