Mount Lavinia Hotel ushered in the new year with an unforgettable, Moulin Rouge-inspired evening that brought the heart of Paris to Sri Lanka. The theme, "Moulin Rouge - Une Nuit à Paris," transformed the hotel's iconic terrace into a vibrant Parisian nightlife scene, complete with red lighting, cancan dancers, and a lively blend of English and French comperes, making the night feel like a true escape to the City of Lights.
With over 500 guests in attendance, the event was nothing short of magical. The stunning atmosphere was complemented by a jaw-dropping 20-30 minute fireworks display. Guests were treated to an exciting start as the fireworks lit up the Colombo skyline, followed by an exclusive show right above the hotel—an experience that left everyone in awe.
The culinary delights of the evening were also a highlight, with a specially curated dinner and dessert buffet that captivated guests with its variety and taste. Music by Kevin Almeida and his band, X-it, along with DJ Kosala and Breeze Jazz, kept the energy high throughout the night.
“We wanted to create an experience that was not only fun but also uniquely tailored to our guests. The Moulin Rouge concept perfectly complements the character of Mount Lavinia Hotel and resonates with our clientele. Last year, we took them to Copacabana, and this year, we transported them to the heart of Paris. The combination of the Moulin Rouge theme, a spectacular fireworks display, and exceptional food and music made for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration,” said Anura Dewapura, Chief Operating Officer of Mount Lavinia Hotel. “It was a pleasure to see our guests fully embracing the spirit of the evening, and we are proud to have hosted one of Colombo’s most exciting New Year events.”
The celebration was a perfect blend of elegance, fun, and excitement, making Mount Lavinia Hotel’s Moulin Rouge - Une Nuit à Paris a night to remember for all who attended.
