City of Dreams Sri Lanka, formerly branded as Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort, is the first integrated resort in Sri Lanka[3] and the largest private investment in the country.[4] Sri Lankan-British architect, Cecil Balmond designed the resort while Hyundai Engineering & Construction is the main contractor. The construction of the resort began in 2014. All the buildings in the resort topped off in May 2019. Even though the resort was originally planned to be completed by 2018, the project got delayed several times due to various reasons. John Keells started handing over keys to the suites apartments in August 2021. With the handing over of residential and commercial units, revenue recognition started at Cinnamon Life. The remainder of the project is scheduled to be launched in a phased manner, in the second half of 2024. In April 2024, John Keells Holdings announced an agreement with Melco Resorts & Entertainment to operate the gaming facility of Cinnamon Life Resort. Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams Sri Lanka, the 687-room luxury hotel within the resort, was declared on 15 October 2024.
