Mount Lavinia Hotel

Mount Lavinia Hotel is a charming slice of history on the outskirts of Colombo. With over 210 years under its belt, this grand old hotel has seen its fair share of stories. Once the residence of a British Governor, it still carries an air of colonial elegance that's hard to miss.

Perched on a hill overlooking the Indian Ocean, the hotel offers 210 rooms and suites, each with its own character. The Governor's Wing is particularly special, with rooms decked out in warm woods and soothing colours. It's like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts you'd expect.

When it comes to food, Mount Lavinia Hotel doesn't disappoint. The Governor's Restaurant serves up a mix of local and international dishes in a setting that'll make you feel like nobility. For dinner with a view, head to The Terrace - it's perfect for watching the sun set over the ocean. Seafood lovers should make a beeline for the Seafood Cove, where you can dig your toes into the sand while tucking into the catch of the day. For a truly special evening, book a table at the Baywatch Tower. Perched above the beach, it's an intimate spot that's made for romantic dinners.

With its blend of history, stunning views, and top-notch facilities, Mount Lavinia Hotel offers a unique stay that captures the essence of Sri Lanka's coastal charm.
