2018 was also a year full of milestones and positive changes at the Mövenpick Hotel Colombo. With the arrival of a new General Manager, George Koumendakos, the hotel continued to exceed customer expectations. Mövenpick Colombo remained the official sports hotel with the Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and South African Cricket teams residing at the hotel during the tournaments. The hotel then hosted the Russian Classic ballet troupe, also in 2018 while Vistas launched ‘FIFA on top of the world’ with giant screens and a range of offers during the Football World Cup.
The DNA and highlight during a visit to any Mövenpick hotel is the world-class cuisine for which the brand is universally famous and last year proved to be better than ever. A global celebration conducted by Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts kicked off the first quarter as they celebrated 70 years of culinary excellence. A range of food festivals were conducted at AYU, the hotel’s famous all-day-dining restaurant. From a delightful Middle Eastern Ifthar buffet to an Italian food festival, the Mövenpick Hotel Colombo continued the Swiss Week while introducing Tokyo Nights, a Japanese buffet at the Robata Grill and Lounge.
The CSR arm of the hotel participated in a range of activities from beach clean ups to a blood donation campaign, tree planting, a wellness week and a heart-warming Christmas tree lighting ceremony with the children of the Sri Jinananda Children’s Development Centre. The key highlight being the hotel’s ‘Kilo of Kindness programme’ together with Manusath Derana where a total of 1,435 kg of food, clothing and educational supplies were collected. This initiative is now in its fourth year, known to be a global charity event organised around all 84 Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts, leading up to the UN international day of charity.
It was also a year of awards and achievements for the Mövenpick Hotel Colombo. The Chief Concierge Thusitha Liyanage received the globally renowned Les Clefs d’Or (keys of Gold) membership. Sahan Weerasinghe emerged the winner of the classic masters at the 26th national bartenders competition and Padmi Fernando, Director Sales and Marketing, was recognised at the Sri Lanka Women Leadership Awards 2018. 
Mövenpick Hotel Colombo was also crowned the ‘Leading Meeting & Conference Hotel in Sri Lanka’ at the South Asian Travel Awards while receiving two major awards for “Sri Lanka’s Leading Hotel 2018” and the “Best Presidential Suite” at the recent World Travel Awards 2018, which acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the global travel and tourism industry.
The hotel also concluded many successful launches in 2018. A Mediterranean story unfolded with Santina – A truly Mediterranean restaurant. The Robata introduced seven flavours of Asia expanding the culinary offerings. A first ever ‘Mövenpick Weddings’ fair was also held last year which highlighted a brand-new intimate concept to the city. The wellness arm introduced a unique programme taking measures to expand their fitness offerings and paying more attention to meditative, full-body-and-mind classes like yoga. The hotel now offers Zumba, yoga, contemporary dance and other fitness activities every day of the week, 23 storeys high with sprawling ocean views. Last but not least, a brand new meetings and events concept was unveiled with ‘Eiger’, a brand new inspiration hub with comfy bean bags, table tennis and foosball tables that is now the talk of town.
