The President of Aitken Spence Hotels Stasshani Jayawardena said “The choice of the company to invest Rs. 70 million in infrastructure reflects its commitment to enhancing our instant access to our societies, and the dedication to the improvement of Aitken Spence Hotels in Aitken Spence is a signature that Aitken Spence Hotels have been a company which values and promotes equality and non-discrimination.” “The launching facility can accommodate over 40 women and provides three categories of space–for managers, supervisors, and non-leaders. We hope that this work will boost female representation within our workforce. This ladies ‘ lodging has all the facilities for the convenience of its staff. It is comparable to the layout of a guest room. The facility also has two popular lounges for relaxation and rest.
