Cinnamon Hotel & Resorts unveils its latest gem in Sri Lanka

Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, in collaboration with Indra Traders, is poised to extend its presence in Sri Lanka’s hill capital with the launch of Kandy Myst by Cinnamon at the beginning of 2025. This exciting new addition to the brand’s collection underscores its dedication to enhancing tourism scene in Sri Lanka, offering a contemporary and vibrant experience in one of the nation’s top cultural destinations.

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon is ideally situated on Kandy Katugastota Road, ensuring easy access to the city’s major attractions and transport connections. This new hotel aims to revolutionise the local hospitality scene by featuring 215 modern rooms—the largest room inventory in Kandy. It promises a dynamic and vibrant stay, blending contemporary comfort with the region’s rich cultural heritage.

Commenting on the upcoming opening, Johan Aschan, Area Vice President of Cinnamon Sri Lanka Resorts, said, “Kandy remains a top destination for visitors to Sri Lanka, and our vision for Kandy Myst by Cinnamon was driven by the growing demand for a fresh, contemporary experience in the city. We are creating a space where locals and international travellers can enjoy a vibrant, dynamic experience that elevates Kandy’s hospitality offering.”

Along with its 215 modern rooms, the hotel will offer 18 interconnecting rooms tailored for groups and business travellers. Guests can enjoy a range of dining options, such as Grains Dining, an all-day buffet restaurant; Kosmos Skybar, a stylish rooftop bar next to the infinity pool; and Terra Lounge, a cosy lounge and coffee shop perfect for casual gatherings or relaxing with speciality drinks. Other amenities include a heated infinity pool, a fully equipped gym, and a large parking area.

Commenting on expanding its footprint in Kandy, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ chief executive officer, Mikael Svensson, said, “With the opening of Kandy Myst by Cinnamon, we are not only expanding our footprint but also reaffirming our commitment to driving tourism growth that benefits local communities.

We believe in creating opportunities for local talent, supporting sustainable development, and bringing meaningful experiences to the destinations we call home. This expansion reflects our strategy to contribute positively to the areas we operate in, delivering value that uplifts our guests and the local economy.”

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon will be a lively, contemporary haven forged through a long-term management partnership between Indra Traders and Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts. This new hotel will seamlessly blend the essence of Kandy with the luxury and comforts that today’s travellers desire, offering a truly memorable retreat.

The chairman of Indra Group of Companies, Indra Silva, also shared his thoughts on the partnership: “We are proud to partner with Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts on this milestone project, which marks our strategic entry into the leisure and tourism sector. Kandy Myst by Cinnamon reflects our commitment to enhancing Kandy’s appeal as a top destination in Sri Lanka and creating economic value for the region. Together, we aim to deliver a world-class hospitality experience that blends modernity with the essence of Kandy.”

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon, in collaboration with Cinnamon Nature Trails (the nature and wildlife tourism division of Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts), will enhance the city’s offerings and help increase Kandy’s attraction for both international and local visitors. Together, they aim to create comprehensive travel experiences that provide rich, authentic local insights.

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon now accepts pre-bookings, allowing guests to reserve their stays before the official opening. With its distinctive combination of contemporary design, vibrant city atmosphere, and outstanding amenities, Kandy Myst by Cinnamon aims to transform the hospitality experience in the heart of Kandy.
