Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts has launched Cinnamon DISCOVERY – Dine with DISCOVERY Dollars (D$), a new dining rewards programme available from October 1 at Cinnamon Grand Colombo, Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, Cinnamon Red Colombo and selected outlets at City of Dreams Sri Lanka.
For years, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts has been part of Colombo’s dining culture, welcoming guests for leisurely lunches, late-night dinners and traditional Sunday brunches. The new programme builds on this established connection by rewarding guests for dining at participating restaurants and bars across the group’s properties.
The initiative enables diners to earn DISCOVERY Dollars through their dining experiences at a range of popular venues across the city.
At Cinnamon Grand Colombo, participating outlets include The London Grill, one of Colombo’s long-established fine-dining restaurants, along with Plates, The Lagoon and Nuga Gama. Guests can also enjoy Breeze Bar and Cheers Pub under the programme.
At Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, the participating venues are The Dining Room, Royal Thai, ColomBar and The Library. Cinnamon Red Colombo offers access to Flavoured, its all-day dining restaurant, as well as Stirred and the rooftop venue Cloud Red.
At City of Dreams Sri Lanka, the programme extends to selected outlets, including Quizine, Staten Bar & Grill, Bistro Des Marees, Yoroko, Sapphire Dragon, Indiya, Cloud Wine and Gatz.
Joining the programme is designed to be simple. Guests can scan a QR code at any participating restaurant or bar to sign up and begin earning DISCOVERY Dollars from their first visit.
“Dine with DISCOVERY Dollars (D$) is our answer to that; a programme that recognises our most loyal guests properly, and gives them a real stake in shaping the city’s culinary core alongside us,” said Kamal Munasinghe, Senior Vice President, Colombo Hotels, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, and General Manager, City of Dreams Sri Lanka.
The launch forms part of Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ broader strategy to strengthen its presence in Colombo’s dining sector while building a community centred on food, experiences and discovery.
The programme is supported by Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ membership in the Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) and its participation in GHA DISCOVERY, the alliance’s global loyalty programme.
