A golden carousel takes center stage as the hotel welcomes the festive season with cherished traditions and seasonal celebrations.

Hilton Colombo officially welcomed the festive season with the unveiling of its 2026 Christmas theme, “Home for a Magical Christmas.” As the first hotel in Colombo to usher in the festive season, Hilton Colombo marked the occasion with festive performances, familiar Christmas traditions and the grand unveiling of its Christmas centerpiece, an intricate golden carousel, at the heart of its lobby.

Framed by elegant white-and-gold decorations and charming Nutcrackers, the carousel transforms the lobby into a haven designed to bring a sense of wonder to guests of all ages. Known for introducing a distinctive Christmas setting each year, Hilton Colombo continues that tradition with a celebration inspired by the warmth of coming home, shared moments and the magic of the season.

“Christmas at Hilton Colombo has always been about the memories people make together,” said Manesh Fernando, Area General Manager for Hilton Sri Lanka and General Manager of Hilton Colombo. “Every year, we look forward to creating something special for the families, friends and guests who celebrate with us. This year’s golden carousel is a joyful reminder of that tradition, and we hope it brings a little magic to everyone who walks through our doors.”

Throughout the festive season, Hilton Colombo invites guests to experience the magic of Christmas across all its dining outlets, each offering specially curated festive experiences, seasonal favorites and holiday treats. From festive buffets at Graze Kitchen and festive high tea at L.A.B, to Christmas goodies at Café Kai, guests can look forward to memorable moments with family and friends throughout the season.
