Hotel Information

The Mount Lavinia Hotel is close to the Sri Lankan capital city of Colombo, standing in a prominent position with superb views of the coast. With Colombo itself in the distance, it is easy to speculate why Sir Thomas Maitland the former British Governor chose the area for his weekend retreat and as a place to entertain his many guests.

Originally a colonial house, the majestic Mount Lavinia Hotel stands above the spectacular Sri Lanka coast with its own secluded beach, taking full advantage of the balmy trade winds that sweep in off the Indian Ocean. Passing through the entrance one may be forgiven for feeling as though one has stepped back in time, yet the Mount Lavinia Hotel manages to retain its former glory whilst providing its guests with all of the modern facilities one would expect of a four star hotel.

The terrace of The Mount Lavinia Hotel was recently described as one of the world's great meeting places. At the end of the day, sitting on the terrace sipping an aperitif, discussing the days adventure in the elegant colonial atmosphere one could be forgiven for dreaming of days of yore. The Mount Lavinia Hotel recently celebrated its bi-centenary and is yet another fine example of the timeless architecture bequeathed by a previous generation.
