Located inside the UNESCO World Heritage Galle Fort, the historic Galle Fort Hotel is housed in a Dutch mansion that dates back 300 years. Through heritage restoration, the building’s Dutch walls and facade were conserved as authentically as possible.
In its new look, the Galle Fort Hotel features 11 luxurious suites with varying themes and decor, all around a widely Instagrammed frangipani-lined courtyard. Expert restorers were brought in to work with the antiques, which are seen across the hotel and suites.
The hotel houses Ropewalk, the world’s first arrack-speciality bar, with its ‘arrack wall’ and menu featuring modern Sri Lankan inspiration.

Beautiful property. Oasis of calm. The Sri Lankan breakfast each morning was delicious. And Dilan saved our favourite veranda spot for us every day. Top marks all round.
By far and away our favourite hotel in Sri Lanka. Cultural heritage in this quaint boutique hotel - small and efficient. Our garden room by the pool (No.1) was airy, beautifully decorated and practical as well as being a few steps from the pool.
From the moment I stepped into the Galle Fort Hotel, I was transported into a world that blends the rich history of Galle Fort with the modern things we expect from a hotel. The Hotel, with its meticulously restored architecture, stands as a testament to the fort's colonial past. The ambiance is enchanting, with a fusion of Dutch and British influences evident in its elegant décor and design.
