The prestigious annual HICSA 'Hotel of the Year' awards were instituted to honor and recognize the most outstanding hotel developments in the region for the past year. Hosted by HVS Asia, a dedicated hospitality consulting firm, the conference provides a highly respected platform for new hotels to gain prominence.
Winning this award reaffirms that Cinnamon red is perfectly positioned to cater to the demands of the new age travelers - the new millennials - and due to its strong brand presence, especially in the South Asian region, provides a unique experience for its guests.
Terrence Fernando, General Manager of Cinnamon red Colombo received the award on behalf of Cinnamon red at the awards ceremony held on 7th April at the JW Marriott Hotel New Delhi.
In its published report on Sri Lanka's hospitality sector, HVS noted that the launch of Cinnamon red Colombo presents an excellent opportunity to tap into the burgeoning mid-market outbound traveler segment, primarily from India and China. The new, emerging breed of discerning travelers seek the assurance of a hotel that understands and anticipates their needs, while providing the right amalgamation of comfort, efficiency and convenience - the precise concept of Lean Luxury which Cinnamon red is pioneering. By adapting to the growing needs of this segment, Cinnamon red has yet again emerged as a preferred choice for travelers, more recently winning a Booking.com award for guest satisfaction as well.
