The Fortress, Galle, Sri Lanka
The Fortress 5 Stars
"Smart and serene, The Fortress is an attractive luxury hotel on Sri Lanka's south coast, whose architecture mirrors that of a Dutch fort."
Hotel Overview
Designed to reflect the famous Dutch Fort of Galle, The Fortress is a walled haven on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Beyond the stone ramparts lies an oasis of gardens, hammocks and a free-flowing pool overlooking the Indian Ocean. Galle is one of Sri Lanka's most historical cities, featuring old town and original fort, now UNESCO World Heritage Sites, along with several other historical buildings and cultural attractions. Its golden beaches and views of the Indian Ocean make Galle an ideal spot for exploration and relaxation.
The facilities
Staff ensure you will want for nothing within The Fortress' walls. Visit the LIME spa for a selection of signature international therapies or schedule an invigorating session in the Yoga Pavilion. Allow the hotel butlers to cater to your needs and take advantage of their Tuk Tuk service and luxury car services. Take in the areas natural beauties with a boat trip down the River Madu or a trek through the Sinharaja Rain Forest.
The rooms
Reflecting the same fusion of Dutch and Portuguese style as the hotel's exterior, The Fortress' guest rooms offer guests a bastion of comfort and old-world charm with a modern twist. The five different types of rooms offer either private courtyards or balconies with views of the gardens or the ocean. Suites offer either indoor plunge pools or private pools.
