The exceptional standard of service offered by Mount Lavinia Hotel has earned us awards and certifications for quality, from many organizations both local and foreign.

• The ISO 22000 Food Safety Management Certification from the Sri Lanka Standards Institution. This standard provides for a food safety management system that incorporates all generally recognized key elements to ensure food safety along the entire food chain, right up to the point of consumption.
• Mount Lavinia Hotel was the first hotel to obtain HACCP Food Safety Certification, in 2004.

• The hotel's Youth Trainee Programme won the PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association) Grand Award for Education & Training. This is one of the highest accolades for organizations which strive to promote the travel sector and was all the more pertinent as it was received in 2006 when the hotel celebrated the 200th anniversary of its original building.

The exceptional staff members of the hotel have also earned many awards, which in turn has brought honour and glory to this beach resort.

• Master Chef Dr. T. Publis Silva, Director Culinary Arts and Promotions of the hotel, won the Presidential Award for 'Exceptional Individual 2007’ at the inaugural Presidential Travel and Tourism Award Ceremony held at the Presidential Secretariat in January 2000.
• The hotel's German Chef Udo Gross has won two Presidential awards during his five years of service at the Sheraton in Abu Dhabi and another presidential award at the Brisbane Sheraton, Australia.
