Christmas at Dutch Hospital

The Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct recently ushered in the holiday season with its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony, held in collaboration with Mastercard.

This year, a magnificent 68-foot tree was lit by Harpo's Cafes & Restaurants Founder Harpo Gooneratne, Ministry of Crab Founder Dharshan Munidasa, and Mastercard Country Manager Sandun Hapugoda, joined by the tenants. The Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct is home to some of the most famous restaurants and shopping experiences in the city; currently housing multiple restaurants: Ministry of Crab, Colombo Fort Café, Ceylon Curry Club, Masala Island, Autarch, Heladiv Tea Club; Taphouse by R&R; and retail spaces: Spa Ceylon, Odel (Luv SL) and Batcha Jewellery.

To add to the celebrations, Mastercard holders are invited to indulge in an exclusive weeklong festive offer of 20% discount at participating food and beverage merchants within the precinct, valid until 12 December 2024.

An iconic tourist attraction in Colombo, the Old Dutch Hospital is a mark of Colombo’s modernism as well as the country’s rich history. Its central location in the heart of the city has long made it a hotspot for both tourists and locals alike. The project to renovate and restore the colonial hospice took place in 2011, under the supervision of the Urban Development Authority, in collaboration with The Tourist Development Authority, as part of the Colombo Development Program.
