Cinnamon Life, Colombo’s premier lifestyle development, is offering existing and new clients a taste of its exclusive culinary outlook, by hosting celebrity Chef, ‘Masterchef’ Judge and Restaurateur, George Calombaris in Colombo from 8 to 11 June.
Envisioned as an icon for Sri Lanka and the region, Cinnamon Life is one of the most ambitious projects in terms of scope, design and the exclusive lifestyle experiences it promises to deliver. The George Calombaris event is a prime example of the exclusive and diverse culinary experiences that Cinnamon Life has planned for the future.
George’s visit to Colombo will feature two authentic Greek dinners on 9 and 10 June, curated by George himself and a High Tea event on 11 June at which he will meet and mingle with food enthusiasts. In addition, he will conduct a highly coveted Masterclass on 10 June, demonstrating how he prepares his signature dishes.
An online charity auction will be organised by Cinnamon Life two weeks prior to the event, giving potential bidders a period of two weeks to place their bids for the popular chef. George Calombaris will be auctioned to the top five highest bidders who can enjoy an exclusive lunch with him on 11 June. The proceeds will be donated to ‘Trail’, a project dedicated to a fight against cancer. To reserve your experience and for further information, contact +94 71 711 8111.
Roshanie Jayasundera Moraes, Chief Marketing Officer/Executive Vice President of the Property group at John Keells Holdings explains, “Cinnamon Life aims to be the lifestyle capital of Sri Lanka by offering eclectic and fine dining experiences to its guests through exclusive collaborations and partnerships with global culinary personalities and brands. We are delighted to host George Calombaris in Sri Lanka and to invite people to savour the cuisine that he will create for the many exciting events we have lined up during his visit. As a forerunner of what to expect in the future, Cinnamon Life promises its clients more than just luxury apartments: it offers an inspired lifestyle.”
Cinnamon Life is envisioned as Colombo’s Life Capital, a city within the city of Colombo - an integrated resort catering to a wide audience with a variety of hospitality and entertainment. The property redefines the convenience of Work, Play, Live and Stay while inspiring lifestyles. Cinnamon Life will especially be an appealing opportunity for the MICE (Meeting, Incentives, Conferences and Events) market with many transformable spaces and hospitality options.
The project will consist of an 800 room luxury hotel, apartments, office spaces, retail mall and entertainment facilities among other world-class attractions. The iconic design by Cecil Balmond will have a built up area of 4.5 million square feet and is intended to be the epicentre of modern South Asia.
