Starry season at Ceylon Continental

The Ceylon Continental Hotel will sparkle this holiday season with its much loved 'Starry Night' festive season during this month. The hotel has festive Sunday brunches lined up on December 4, 11 and 18 and 'Brunch Universal' held on Christmas Day (December 25). Following this, they have a special Boxing Day Lunch on December 26.

The Continental will also partake in Christmas dinner consisting of a six-course gourmet menu, including international and traditional season favourites from roast turkey to pickled ham and the most scrumptious Christmas pudding at the Emerald Restaurant from 7 pm to 10 pm. All festive brunches will be at the Emerald Restaurant from 11.30 am to 2.30 pm and prices exclude both service charge and government taxes. Children below 6 years will be able to dine for free, while children between ages 6 and 12 will be charged 50 percent of the rate. Usage of the swimming pool will be on offer for all the buffet guests.

During this festive season, the kids will be treated to a variety of activities from making greeting cards to decorating cookies and even have a surprise opportunity to receive presents from the hotel Santa Claus and a visit from Barney and Dora the Explorer. The hotel's well trained babysitters will also be on duty to keep the kids occupied and safe.

Cafe Conti will be transformed into a magical gingerbread house which will serve everyone's Christmas cravings during the entire month from 6.30 am to 11 pm. The Continental will also serve "Turkey to Go", a specialty this season till December 31. There is the great option of having it being delivered straight to one's doorstep making it ideal for those celebrating the festive season at home.

Continental Hampers will be up for grabs for those who want to make this season extra special. Apart from the artfully designed packaging, not only can one customize their hamper, but they can also have their company branding or personal signature on it. The "Singing treats" will carol from December 15 to the 24 between 6 - 7 pm in the hotel lobby, providing both the traditional and contemporary Christmas carols whilst guests indulge in delicious seasonal treats.

As the CSR project for this season, Ceylon Continental's poolside will be turned into Santa's workshop on December 6 for a group of less privileged children.

Anyone can give a helping hand to make their day extra special by keeping gifts for these children under the Christmas tree in the lobby.

With a Christmas from around the world, Ceylon Continental will stopover in New York's Times Square for a very unique New Year's Eve Dinner Dance inclusive of Limousines, red carpets and a spectacular firework show. The line-up of entertainment includes the local band Doctor and DJ Shiran and two very exciting ticket packages. Children who tag along will be provided with their entertainment. Tickets will be available from November 20 at the hotel lobby.
