Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts recently hosted an elegant networking evening for select media representatives in Mumbai. The evening commenced with an insightful presentation showcasing their picturesque properties, followed by a fun-filled tambola game, a delectable dinner and networking.
Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts features four city properties in Colombo, nine resort properties across Sri Lanka, and four resorts in the Maldives. Its luxury portfolio includes the landmark Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams, which opened in 2025. The event was graced by Hishan Singhawansa, Chief Executive Officer, and Radhey Tawar, Chief Commercial Officer for Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts.
In an exclusive chat with BOTT, Hishan Singhawansa said, “Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams is reshaping Colombo’s urban landscape. Beyond the premium accommodation and dining, the property offers curated cultural programming, immersive leisure experiences, and dynamic public spaces that attract both local and international audiences. A key differentiator is its ambition to become a leading MICE destination in South Asia, supported by state-of-the-art convention facilities and the capability to host large-scale corporate, cultural, and entertainment events.
Looking ahead to 2026, our focus will be to establish Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams as the region’s preferred venue for business, entertainment, and social engagement, while reshaping the narrative of Colombo from being seen as merely a stopover destination to a compelling destination in its own right”.
Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ India-focused strategy is also anchored by Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams Sri Lanka, a large-scale integrated resort combining hotels, gaming, dining, retail and convention space.
