“This property stands out for its considered design, right in the heart of Galle Fort. I especially appreciate the rooftop bar and pool area; it's the perfect spot for sunset drinks with a view, a welcome contrast to the bustle of the Fort. The a la carte breakfast also gets high marks, a sophisticated touch that elevates the experience.”
