As one of Asia's oldest and most famed landmark establishments , the Galle Face Hotel sweeps guests back in time to a world when high tea served by sarong-clad staff was the order of the day and when G & Ts sipped on the fan-cooled veranda at sundown precluded a divine dinner in the company of good friends. While this atmospheric hotel - built by four British entrepreneurs in 1864 - has been carefully renovated to bring it firmly into the 21st century , it continues to reflect the timeless romance , charisma and style of a bygone era. The Galle Face Hotel is especially popular with returning guests seduced by the age-old hospitality of the east who follow in the footsteps of famous personalities such as Richard Nixon , Roger Moore and Yuri Gagarin.
Aside from its unmistakeably beautiful arched façade and classic interior, the Galle Face Hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Colombo alongside the magnificent verdant promenade of the Galle Face Green and is the only heritage hotel in the capital to be located right beside the sea, which certainly has its advantages; the saltwater pool is a wonderful place to unwind in the heat of the day; the palm-shaded Chequerboard is one of the most popular places in the capital to be at sunset while the Sea Spray Restaurant allows diners to romantically dine alfresco within metres of the ocean and count the lights of passing boats and twinkling stars that magically illuminate the sky.
With sweeping ocean views from each of the majestic Galle Face Hotel suites , guests can enjoy the panorama in their own comfort and privacy in a serenity that makes one feel unconnected with city life. The grassy lawn in front of the hotel and sea-view promenade offer further opportunities for sitting quietly and contemplating the view. While the Hotel has a variety of eateries ranging from fine cuisine to high tea , the restaurants and bars of Colombo are all on your doorstep. There's plenty to do in the day if you wish to get out and about ; a short tuk tuk ride will take you to shopping malls , boutiques , temples , historical sights and museums where you can further explore and experience the grand old history of the island.
