“In 2013/14, we made a concerted decision to strive and revive a property that has a lot of meaning not only to the Aitken Spence Hotel Group but also to our Holding Company Aitken Spence PLC with the planned renovation of the original Shipping Head Office of Clark Spence Company building to a new heritage hotel within the UNESCO World Heritage Site Galle Fort,” Managing Director of Aitken Spence Hotel Group, Rajan Brito said.
Addressing stakeholders at the release of the firm’s Annual Report 2013 Brito however said that the plans for the realization of this property are still in its infancy adding, “The intention is, therefore, to reclaim a little bit of our history intertwined with the early mercantilist history of Ceylon, to offer a niche experience that is authentic to that era through a boutique hotel concept”.
