The construction of Hotel Lanka Oberoi began in 1973. The hotel commenced operations in 1975. It was the first hotel located outside India of Oberoi Hotels. The hotel was constructed on the land where the Bishop of Church of Ceylon resided until the 1970s. The atrium of the hotel was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Until then, only Hyatt Regency Atlanta had such an architectural feature.^[5]

On 28 January 1984, a bomb exploded in the hotel, then called the Hotel Lanka Oberoi. One employee was killed.^[6][3] The operators of the hotel, Oberoi Hotels agreed with Asian Hotels, the owner of the hotel, to terminate the management agreement in 2003. The hotel was relaunched as Colombo Plaza Hotel after that.^[7] In the same year, John Keells Holdings acquired a controlling stake of 60.5 per cent of Asian Hotels Ltd for LKR4.1 billion.^[8] John Keells Holdings rebranded the hotel as Cinnamon Grand in 2005.^[9]
