GOH offer open once again
Bank of Ceylon (BOC), owners of the former Taprobane hotel now known as the Grand Oriental Hotel (GOH), has re-advertised an offer calling for a new manager of the property. It called for applications from qualified parties for the management of the historic hotel, which is more than 125 years old.

According to a BOC official, they had called for interested parties to manage the hotel more than a year ago but they had not received any suitable offers and therefore were running the advertisement for the second time.

The hotel is currently being managed by a subsidiary company of the bank. The official also said the bank was working with the Archaeological Department in order to re-furbish some parts of the hotel, which is a historical site.
