His focus will be on transforming Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts into a brand defined by precision in operations, authenticity in service, and innovation in guest journeys.

During his time at the Cinnamon Grand, a period of four and a half years, Munasinghe literally not just transformed the Hotel into a bustling, lively and above all friendly and warm venue, he imbued his inborn talent for PR and geniality, across the board to both staff and guests. Activities, events, a sense of wellbeing, all combined to make the Cinnamon Grand the 'Go To' venue be it business or pleasure. A seasoned hotelier and industry leader, Munasinghe who returned to Sri Lanka, post his role as General Manager of Alila Bangsar Kuala Lumpur, a Hyatt Hotels Corporation property, has indeed stamped his mark indelibly at the Cinnamon Grand.

His career spans across Switzerland, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka, and he is a hospitality graduate of Schiller International University, Switzerland.
