Mount Livinia Hotel, Colombo

This is a historic building, the former Governor's residence in Sri Lanka. It has a fantastic view of the ocean. This is my second time to the hotel and it looks better now as some renovation works had been done. The first time was quite a few years ago. We was there for lunch with  a few of my business associates.

Whilst some renovation work have been done and the hotel looks much better than the past, it is still not in the league of Raffles Hotels and other such hotels. It's location on a cliff is however, quite breathtaking. The hotel also has it's own character as in all colonial building such as this.

The buffett lunch spread was good and prices reasonably. However, I did not have the buffett but a hamburger instead. The burger was good and I noticed that the Executive Chef was a Caucasian.

I will keep this hotel in mind and explore it further the next time I am in Colombo.

Until the next time, cheers.
