Galle Fort Hotel, Sri Lanka

The Galle Fort Hotel began life as on 18th-century Dutch villa, and along the way has served as a post office, bakery, lapidary, RAF barracks and, in recent years, a pitch for the Fort's young cricketers.

The 11-suite boutique hotel has since gained a reputation for the highest levels of service, along with many accolades including the ‘Leading Boutique Hotel in Sri Lanka’ by the World Travel Awards for three consecutive years, and again in 2022.

Onsite is the restaurant and bar Ropewalk, named after the process of producing arrack, a favourite Sri Lankan alcoholic drink. Ropewalk serves light bites, full meals, and handcrafted cocktails.
