About Amangalla
Amangalla is a historic luxury hotel inside Galle Fort, in a restored colonial building that was once a Dutch governor's residence and later the New Oriental Hotel. It has around 30 chambers and suites with polished teak floors, a pool, a spa and a restaurant, and is one of the most atmospheric places to stay in Galle.
The hotel sits within the walls of the UNESCO-listed fort, a short walk from the ramparts, the lighthouse and the lanes of Galle Fort. Its great hall, The Zaal, is used for dining, and the hotel has a library.
