The Galle Face Hotel. I didn't...
The Galle Face Hotel. I didn't stay here, but this is where I played the largest of the 2 concerts I gave in Sri Lanka. The hotel is gorgeous and the dining room offers superb meals. Please note that this photo if off the net. I have not been able to scan my slides yet.
Unique Quality: It has a fantastic swimming pool too! This is great because the beaches(at least when I was there) were full of little stingrays. No fun to step on!

A colonial hotel with lots of class
It's one of those classic hotels in the tradition of i.e. the Raffles in Singapore, except that it has not undergone the same ambitious renovation. So you can still feel the warm, old-fashioned atmosphere.

Galle Face Hotel
Can someone tell me if the old part of this hotel is ok?
What is the new section called..the one over the pool?
Thanks
Re: Galle Face Hotel
Hi there,
Yes and no. For our standards still acceptable 2-star, partly due to the magnificent hall, restaurants etc. Rooms are a bit outdated.
New wing, Regency, is 4/5-star. Loved it!
All the best,
Erik + Sandya
Re: Galle Face Hotel

Re: Galle Face Hotel
its one of colonial style hotel which is found in the capital of our country, its still with its smart lookin, recently i went for an educational introduction programme by the American National College, the new buildin also smart.

Re: Galle Face Hotel
The old wing is just about ok. They have old rooms with sometimes creaky beds and bad pillows. It all depends on what you want. if you are looking for a colonial hotel then such things can add some charm.
the new wing is called the Regency and has some nice over priced rooms.
