Mount Lavinia Hotel, a symbol of heritage and hospitality, is gearing up to celebrate International Women’s Day 2025 under the theme, “Mount Lavinia Hotel; Where Every Woman is Cherished.” This year, the hotel is taking a step beyond traditional festivities by honouring women from all walks of life; guests, employees, and the broader community, acknowledging their contributions, ambitions, and resilience.

To make this occasion truly special, Mount Lavinia Hotel is offering a 25% discount on its lunch and dinner buffet for all women dining at Governor’s Restaurant on March 8, 2025. Every female guest will also be welcomed with a complimentary mocktail as a refreshing toast to womanhood.

• Lunch Buffet: LKR 5,600 Nett
• Dinner Buffet: LKR 6,350 Nett

Both meals will be accompanied by live music, ensuring a lively and memorable experience. Additionally, the hotel has curated a special English High Tea experience to mark the day in a truly elegant manner. Priced at LKR 5,300 Nett, this indulgent afternoon tea will feature an exquisite selection of delicate pastries, handcrafted savouries, and a variety of teas, making it the perfect way for women to treat themselves or share a moment of celebration with loved ones.

Mount Lavinia Hotel acknowledges that much of its success is attributed to the dedication and hard work of its employees, many of whom are women. In recognition of their invaluable contributions, the hotel has planned a special celebration for its female staff, appreciating their efforts in maintaining the hotel's prestigious reputation in Sri Lanka’s hospitality industry.

One of the most heartfelt aspects of this year’s Women’s Day celebration is the hotel’s commitment to uplifting women in the Mount Lavinia community. The hotel has taken a proactive approach to identifying hardworking and ambitious women across the city, whether they are sweeping streets, running small businesses, or working diligently in unseen roles, to recognize their dedication and share their inspiring stories. “Women are the backbone of society, and at Mount Lavinia Hotel, we believe in truly cherishing and celebrating them. This Women’s Day, we are not only appreciating our valued guests and staff but also extending our recognition to the hardworking women in the Mount Lavinia community. Every woman deserves to feel seen, valued, and celebrated,” said Anura Dewapura, Chief Operating Officer of Mount Lavinia Hotel Group.

With a history spanning over two centuries, Mount Lavinia Hotel has always been a place that upholds inclusivity, diversity, and community engagement. This Women’s Day initiative is yet another step in reinforcing the hotel’s role as a space where every woman, whether a guest, an employee, or a member of the community, is respected, empowered, and celebrated.

As Mount Lavinia Hotel prepares to commemorate this important day, its message is clear: Every woman deserves recognition, appreciation, and a place where she feels cherished.
