INFINITELY STYLISH HOTEL
An infinitely stylish hotel, in the midst of a centuries-old fort built from coral and rock, at the southern tip of the Teardrop Island, overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Is this one of the most romantic, intriguing, friendly, distinctive and beautiful destinations on the planet? Take a luxury, tailor-made holiday to Sri Lanka and stay in the Fort Bazaar in the centre of Galle’s old fort, and you will almost certainly answer ‘yes’. The hotel is a tastefully reclaimed Dutch mansion offering world class modern amenities. It is a masterpiece and, better still, it stands on Galle’s colourful Church Street in the heart of a vast town/fort constructed over 300 years ago by Dutch empire-builders.
WORLD CLASS MODERN AMENITIES
Walk around the fort’s ramparts and you’ll have sweeping views of the Indian Ocean. Descend the time-worn stairways and you’ll be able to swim from tiny, sandy beaches. Talk to the locals, buy hand-made lace and experience a place you’ll never forget.
