Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts has introduced Cinnamon DISCOVERY – Dine with DISCOVERY Dollars (D$), a new dining rewards programme launching across Cinnamon Grand Colombo, Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, Cinnamon Red Colombo, and select outlets at City of Dreams Sri Lanka, from 1st October 2026.
For years, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts has been part of how Colombo eats out, from long lunches to late dinners to the quiet ritual of a favourite Sunday brunch. Dine with D$ turns that familiarity into something guests can hold onto: a reward for the meals they have already chosen to have with the group, at the tables they already know well.
The programme covers some of the city’s most familiar dining rooms and bars. At Cinnamon Grand Colombo, that includes The London Grill, one of Colombo’s oldest fine dining establishments, alongside Plates, The Lagoon, and Nuga Gama, as well as Breeze Bar and Cheers Pub. At Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, guests can dine at The Dining Room and Royal Thai, or settle in at ColomBar and The Library. Cinnamon Red Colombo pairs all-day dining at Flavoured with evenings at Stirred and the rooftop Cloud Red. At City of Dreams Sri Lanka, the programme extends to select outlets, among them Quizine, Staten Bar & Grill, Bistro Des Marees, Yoroko, Sapphire Dragon, Indiya, Cloud Wine, and Gatz.
Signing up takes little more than a QR code, scanned at any participating restaurant or bar, and DISCOVERY Dollars begin accruing from a guest’s very first visit. Once earned, they can be spent with equal ease at any other outlet in the programme. Membership itself is structured around four tiers, set by annual spend. Silver members receive a 15% benefit on food and beverages, rising to 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$) is our answer to that; a programme that recognises our most loyal guests properly, and gives them a real stake in shaping the city’s culinary core alongside us,” said Kamal Munasinghe, Senior Vice President, Colombo Hotels, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, and General Manager, City of Dreams Sri Lanka.
The introduction of Dine with DISCOVERY Dollars (D$) forms part of Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ wider focus on strengthening its position within Colombo’s dining landscape and building a community around food, experiences and discovery.
The programme is supported by Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ membership of Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), through GHA DISCOVERY, the global loyalty programme of the alliance. Cinnamon joined GHA in 2025, bringing its portfolio of hotels and resorts in Sri Lanka and the Maldives into a global network of independent hotel brands. Through GHA DISCOVERY, members can earn and redeem DISCOVERY Dollars across participating properties within the alliance.
