In the heart of Colombo, the
commercial capital of Sri Lanka,
regally stands the Galle Face
Hotel, a premier legend, one of
Asia's best.
With an impressive arched façade
that overlooks a kilometer-long
stretch of lawn called the Galle
Face Green, the hotel borrowed
its name from this charming
promenade way back in 1864.
Built by four British
entrepreneurs who were looking
to start a business in the city,
Galle Face Hotel is the only
Heritage city hotel overlooking
the Indian Ocean.
The hotel follows a simple
philosophy of offering guests
the romance of old-world charm
complete with modern day
luxuries that enhance the
experience.
As an extensive restoration
project nears completion towards
the latter part of 2004, the
hotel’s Southern Wing will
reopen its doors to offer
uncluttered elegance,
sophistication and superlative
service. |
