“In Galle Fort, this five-star property emphasizes its connection to the locale, from its décor to its support of local initiatives.

The hotel stands out for its spacious rooms, modern amenities, and diverse dining, though travelers on a tight schedule should confirm breakfast arrangements in advance.”
