About Galle Face Hotel
Galle Face Hotel is a historic seafront hotel on Galle Face Green in Colombo, dating back to 1864. Colonial architecture, ocean-facing rooms and afternoon tea on the Verandah make it one of the best-known heritage hotels in Sri Lanka and a favourite for travellers who want a classic Colombo stay.
The hotel stands directly on the Galle Face seafront. A small museum and an in-house historian help guests understand the hotel's long history.
