Day 1

Colombo Hotel to Galle Hotel

Duration2 Hours

Galle Fort Hotel

With foundations dating back over three centuries, the property was originally a Dutch mansion and warehouse, and as such the 18th century doors and windows on the building's facade are perhaps the best examples of their kind within the Fort. Rescued from neglect and decay, and lovingly and painstakingly restored in 2003; the property retains its historical value and authenticity while also boasting some modern creature comforts. In 2007 UNESCO awarded the hotel the Asia Pacific Heritage Award of Distinction, calling it 'a masterpiece of cultural heritage and conservation'.
