Mount Lavinia Hotel

Situated just 12 kilometers from the city center the Mount Lavinia Hotel is unique in that it is the only beach resort on the fringe of the city limits. Starting out as an imposing and majestic weekend abode for a British governor in colonial times, it retains the old-world charm and imperial elegance of yesteryear combined with the most up-to-date facilities of a modern resort that any discerning traveler might ask for.
