SEQUEL at the Grand: The Next Best Thing in Colombo
View(s):By Sanath Weerasuriya
SEQUEL, the next best thing in Colombo, as they called it, is the combination of something bold and jazzy or rich and snazzy.
Formally known as Cascade, when Cinnamon Grand was called Colombo Plaza, ‘The SEQUEL’ is where the old meets new, where charm meets sophistication and having a good time gets a new meaning.
‘The SEQUEL will be a novel addition to Colombo’s nightlife catered to enthralling guests with our performances and showmanship. Colombo’s latest speakeasy Jazz and cocktail bar is ready to welcome the discerning guest that is looking for that perfectly curated night’ said Kamal Munasinghe, Area Vice-President, Cinnamon City Hotels at the grand launch last week.
The performances at the SEQUEL come with great repertoire. Stretching from the greatest sixties to current electronic house music will be featured at the venue. But Jazz will be the main focus and dancing music will be the top attraction. This means that every little detail is tailored to those who appreciate elegance, and a bespoke experience like no other.
‘Think walking into a vintage space accompanied by the sounds of Sinatra and Fitzgerald inviting you to do it your way or for once in your life. Think of the soul-searching and eclectic mix of Winehouse classics that you can drown your sorrows in. That’s why we call it ‘Next Best thing in Colombo’ said VP Munasinghe.
Gananath Dasanayaka and his jazzy bunch were in action at the grand launch of the SEQUEL. Not to forget, there is live music every night and progresses to DJ swing and jazz, bringing a touch of glamour to a speakeasy scene. Numbers of top names in the showbiz world are billed to perform at the SEQUEL.
Apart from the music, SEQUEL is popular for cuisine and cocktails. Each exquisite dish is specially overseen and theatrically presented to the guests by a brigade of seasoned professional chefs, the largest selection of beverages and 14 well-crafted cocktails, ranging from the classic to the exotic, served in all sorts of fun creations, will be the order of the evening.
