As Mother’s Day is a celebration that pays tribute to mothers, foster mothers, fathers who also act as mothers; and all the mother figures in our lives, our moms expect to be pampered and
showered not only with gifts, but also with extra love and attention. This is why Seda Centrio Hotel decided to come up with a special treat for mothers. Mom of A Kind On May 14, in honor of all mothers and their contribution to society and the world, Seda Centrio invites you and the most important woman in your life to Mom of A Kind, a celebration of good food and the finest comforts of a world-class hotel. First in the schedule is a lunch buffet specially prepared and laid out by
the chef and staff of Misto.
