About Us

This iconic grand mansion has been many things to many people; a former gem merchant’s mansion, RAF barracks, a post office, bakery, lapidary and even a pitch for the Fort’s juvenile cricketers; the Galle Fort Hotel is quintessentially Galle, a beautiful, eclectic, eccentric gem of a place in the town that exerts a magnet appeal for history and culture buffs the world over.
In the decade following its brilliant restoration, this 11-suite boutique hotel has gained an impeccable reputation for offering a singular experience; paying deep homage to Galle’s rich cultural and aesthetic values, while combining luxurious surroundings and delectable cuisine with the highest standards of service excellence.
The perfect mix of culture, class and comfort, the Galle Fort Hotel is not to be missed; not just because it’s one of the best hotels in Galle, but because it is simply one of the best holiday experiences, ever.
