JOHN Keells Holdings PLC (JKH) and Melco Resorts & Entertainment (Melco) have announced the grand opening of City of Dreams Sri Lanka on 2 August.

City of Dreams Sri Lanka to launch on 2 August: Landmark in South Asian tourism and luxury

This launch marks the completion of the final components of the project, including a world-class casino, the luxurious Nüwa hotel, and a premium shopping mall.

The milestone partnership marks the debut of South Asia's first fully-integrated resort and Sri Lanka's largest private sector investment in luxury lifestyle to date - an over $ 1.2 billion development that redefines Colombo's place on the global tourism map.

Strategically located in the heart of Colombo, the integrated resort brings together world-class hospitality, upscale retail, immersive entertainment, and cutting-edge MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) infrastructure in one dynamic destination.

Key highlights include: 800 rooms and suites, comprising a 687-room luxury hotel branded 'Cinnamon Life,' which was launched in October 2024, and a 113-room ultra-luxury hotel under Melco's flagship 'Nüwa' brand.

Expansive MICE facilities designed to host global business events and conventions.
