Colombo’s Favourite Tables Now Reward You Back 

Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts is giving Colombo’s diners a new reason to keep coming back. From 1st October 2026, it introduces Cinnamon DISCOVERY – Dine with DISCOVERY Dollars (D$), a dining rewards programme spanning Cinnamon Grand Colombo, Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, Cinnamon Red Colombo and select outlets at City of Dreams Sri Lanka. 

For years, Cinnamon has been part of the way Colombo eats out. It’s there for the long lunches, the late dinners and the quiet ritual of a favourite Sunday brunch. Dine with D$ turns that familiarity into something guests can hold onto: a reward for the meals they already choose to share with the group, at the tables they already know well. 

The programme reads like a roll call of the city’s best-known dining rooms and bars. At Cinnamon Grand Colombo, guests can dine at The London Grill, one of Colombo’s oldest fine dining establishments, as well as Plates, The Lagoon and Nuga Gama, before unwinding at Breeze Bar or Cheers Pub. Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo brings The Dining Room and Royal Thai into the fold, along with the relaxed comfort of ColomBar and The Library. At Cinnamon Red Colombo, all-day dining at Flavoured leads into evenings at Stirred and the rooftop Cloud Red. City of Dreams Sri Lanka extends the programme further still, with select outlets including Quizine, Staten Bar & Grill, Bistro Des Marees, Yoroko, Sapphire Dragon, Indiya, Cloud Wine and Gatz. 

Joining couldn’t be simpler. Guests just scan a QR code at any participating restaurant or bar, and DISCOVERY Dollars start adding up from the very first visit. Once earned, they can be spent just as easily at any other outlet in the programme, so a dinner at one venue can go towards a meal or drinks at another. Membership is built around four tiers set by annual spend, and the benefits on food and beverages grow with each one: 15% at Silver, 20% at Gold, 25% at Platinum and 30% at Titanium. 

“In Colombo, dining out is not just a habit, it has become a form of status. People talk about where they eat the way they talk about where they travel. 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 is part of Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ wider ambition to strengthen its place at the heart of Colombo’s dining scene. It also aims to build a community that comes together around food, experiences and discovery. 

Behind the programme is Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ membership of the Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), through GHA DISCOVERY, the alliance’s global loyalty programme. Cinnamon joined GHA in 2025, bringing its hotels and resorts in Sri Lanka and the Maldives into a worldwide network of independent hotel brands. Through GHA DISCOVERY, members can earn and redeem DISCOVERY Dollars at participating properties across the alliance.
