Hotel Overview

The Galle Fort Hotel began life as an 18th Century Dutch villa and along the way has taken many guises from RAF barracks, post office, bakery, lapidary and in the recent past a pitch for the Fort’s young cricketers.
This 11-suite boutique hotel has since gained an impeccable reputation for the highest levels of service, along with many accolades from the ‘Asia Pacific Heritage Award of Destination’ by UNESCO to being awarded ‘Leading Boutique Hotel in Sri Lanka’ by the World Travel Awards for three consecutive years.
If you are looking to make your base in a space that captures the pure spirit and historical richness of its surroundings, then look no further than the Galle Fort Hotel. Our property offers spacious rooms, modern amenities, airport pick-up & drop, room service, and family-friendly accommodations. Complimentary WIFI is provided throughout your stay, and you can also enjoy our swimming pool, one of the few within the Fort, while you try our exquisite cocktails at our bar, Ropewalk, Sri Lanka's first arrack specialized bar.
