Platinum One Suites heralds seasonal cheer at tree lighting ceremony 2019

As part of this year’s philanthropic holiday plans, it was a day well spent for children in the care of AMI Tsunami Foundation Orphanage accompanied by staff members of Platinum One Suites and their children.

The recently-concluded Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony was held at its 20-storeyed luxury hotel premises surrounded by a sea-facing metropolis. 

Gathering in their best smile and attire, the lobby lounge came alive with children happily browsing through fun-filled games, mouth-watering treats, face-painting, goodie bags and a surprise visit from Santa which brought in plenty of uncontrollable laughter.

Providing star-class Sri Lankan hospitality services since early 2019, Platinum One Suites is pleased to add the event as part of its annual calendar following a launch success in true Christmas spirit.

In addition to enlivening tourism, Platinum One Suites is ambitious to empower lives, hence making a difference for children coming from vulnerable and neglected backgrounds. “The Tree Lighting Ceremony has shown solidarity towards bereaved children. We are certain it has made valuable impact on the community and touched hearts at a time of seasonal festivities and togetherness. Children offer so much to the world and what’s important is to ensure a brighter future for those short of parental care and shelter. After all, their smiles are the best gift for us,” shared Platinum One Suites COO Mahesh Amarasinghe.

Each child was offered the chance to share their Christmas gift wish which lovingly adorned the branches of the main Christmas tree at the apart-hotel. These little wish-lists were then arranged by the host hotel and gifted to the children shortly after the event, thanks to charitable donations made by staff and guests who partook in what was an unforgettable celebration throughout.
