Mount Lavinia Hotel recently had the privilege of welcoming S. R. Nathan former President of the Republic of Singapore and his wife Urmila Nauday. Nathan and Urmila are no strangers to the hotel.

Nathan’s visit is after 30 long years and was enthralled to see the hotel when he arrived. Urmila came in 1952; she said she felt like coming home. During the brief stay at the hotel the former President was fascinated by the history and the legacy of Sri Lanka’s colonial heritage hotel. Even though the hotel is a 200 year property, it was a proud moment, when he referred to MLH as Raffles Singapore. On their departure, they reassured to visit their “home away from home” before long.
