Heritance Hotels and Resorts awarded Superbrands Sri Lanka status

Heritance Hotels and Resorts has been recognised as a Superbrands Sri Lanka’s Choice 2025, reaffirming its position as one of the country’s most respected and trusted hospitality brands. 

The accolade, awarded by Superbrands Sri Lanka, celebrates brands that demonstrate the very highest standards of excellence and consistency, evoking a strong emotional connection with their consumers and creating a clear point of differentiation within the hospitality market.

Participation in Superbrands is offered by invitation only and is extended to the most outstanding brands within their respective fields. Brands awarded the Superbrands status are evaluated through an independent process led by the Superbrands Council, comprised of experts and industry leaders in branding, marketing, design, advertising, public relations and business. This signal recognition reflects both their market research and a professional assessment, identifying brands that consumers consciously and consistently value and are willing to choose at a premium.

Heritance Hotels and Resorts’ recognition as a Superbrand highlights its long-standing commitment to experience-led hospitality, sustainability and authenticity. Operating across Sri Lanka’s most culturally and geographically diverse regions as well as the Maldives with the flagship property, Heritance Aarah, the brand has built-up a portfolio defined by a strong architectural identity, meaningful guest experiences and a deep respect for its sense of place.

As the flagship brand of Aitken Spence Hotels, Heritance is also the custodian of the largest portfolio of Sri Lankan hotels designed by the legendary architect Geoffrey Bawa, whose philosophy of tropical modernism continues to shape the brand’s distinctive sense of space, flow and connection to nature. This architectural legacy, combined with progressive sustainability initiatives, wellness offerings and culinary excellence, has positioned Heritance as a benchmark for responsible exclusivity across the region.

Aitken Spence Chairman and Chairperson Stasshani Jayawardena commented, “Superbrands Sri Lanka’s Choice 2025 is a meaningful affirmation of the values that have shaped Heritance from the very beginning. It reflects our long-term commitment to building a brand grounded in design integrity, responsible practices and authentic hospitality, while continuing to evolve in-step with the expectations of our guests.”

Aitken Spence Hotels Managing Director Susith Jayawickrama said, “Being awarded Superbrands Sri Lanka’s Choice 2025 reinforces the trust our guests, partners and stakeholders place in Heritance Hotels and Resorts. This recognition reflects not only our commercial strength but also our continued focus on creating emotionally resonant, experience-led hospitality offerings that connects deeply with today’s discerning traveller.”
