Christmas and Silver Balls

Christmas is a time for celebrations. This year when one steps into the Hilton Colombo they will see a lot of colour and the team ever so eagerly getting ready for the festive season. With the opening of the hotel’s “Chocolate House” featuring a real chocolate fountain, the goodies hut is packed with seasonal offerings such as Yule Logs, Breudhers, Minced pies, Marzipan Trees and more. The hotel also has lined up a string of events to celebrate this occasion.

Spices will offer the biggest buffet in town with a bountiful combination of the favourites. A very extravagant set menu will be compiled at Spoons this Christmas which will leave those taste-buds asking for more, and Curry Leaf will serve authentic Sri Lankan cuisine along with a fresh seafood buffet whilst Il Ponte, Emperor’s Wok and Ginza Hohsen also will have special set menus on offer.

Everyone’s favourite carols will happen at the Thorana Lounge from December 20 to the 24 from 8pm to 8.30pm. Choro Calibre choir will take center stage and fill the lobby with their angelic voices to add more cheer to the celebrations. The lounge together with Dilmah will also feature the Mary Ann Singers, Natasha Ratnayake, Children’s Christmas choir with Soul Sounds Academy choir, Vocal Engima and the St. Benedict’s choir. Children will get the chance to meet Santa Claus who will visit the lobby from the December 20 to the 25 from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

After a lapse of four years the hotel will also have their Silver Ball New Year’s Eve gala dinner dance with two great bands Geoffrey Fernando with Purple Rain and Black Velvet.
