Doorman Kuttan

Doorman Kuttan, at the Galle Face Hotel, is among the longest serving employees in the world. He is at the hotel since 1942. He still remembers (and tells the story with great gestures) the day when - during World War II - a Japanese Zero fighter grounded in front of the hotel on the large green field, called the Galle Face.

He can be found charming as ever saluting guests at the lobby of the Galle Face Hotel.
