Galle fort Hotel Win s Tripadvisor Award- is Ranked Among Best 100 Luxury Hotels In the World

We are delighted to hear and congratulate Galle Fort Hotel for once again putting Sri Lanka on tourism’s map; by being listed among the best 100 luxury hotels in the world.

In 2007 at the Asia Pacific Heritage Conservation awards, the Galle Fort Hotel, beat 25 entries from 10 countries to bag the coveted UNESCO Award for ‘Outstanding Conservation Achievement’. The Hotel’s restoration was described by the award committee as “A carefully considered transformation of an abandoned historic residential compound into a stylish boutique hotel has evocatively captured the spirit of place of the colonial world heritage fortified town of Galle. The restoration has been carried out with sensitivity to the historic fabric and the surrounding urban context, retaining the buildings modest scale and street facade.”
