Kandy Myst by Cinnamon Kicks Off with a Historic Rugby Moment – Where world-class hospitality meets world-class moments.

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon set the stage for a moment of sporting significance as it was the chosen venue for the official trophy presentation ahead of the first-ever New Zealand U85kg Rugby Tour of Sri Lanka. As Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ latest city property, the hotel proudly welcomed rugby icons, including Sir Graham Henry, the World Cup-winning All Blacks coach, and His Excellency David Pine, New Zealand’s High Commissioner to Sri Lanka.

The event marked the first major international gathering at the hotel, cementing its role as more than just a stylish city retreat. It demonstrated the hotel’s ability to host high-profile occasions while celebrating the deep cultural and sporting ties between nations.

With both national teams present, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and pride. By aligning itself with such a milestone event, Kandy Myst positions itself not only as a modern hospitality destination but also as one of the best places to visit in Kandy for memorable global events in the heart of Sri Lanka.
