Galle Face Hotel Colombo

Description

The Galle Face Hotel is situated in Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka. Established in 1864 it soon became one of the most exquisite hotels east of Suez. The GFH is a low-rise structure which has been hailed as a masterpiece of Victorian Architecture. It resembles a stately home facing the Indian Ocean and as a charming hangover of colonial manners and services. For almost a century it was the focal point of British colonial life style in the island.

The hotel has been patronized by some of the most famous names of the 20th century and the granite plaque in the lobby gives a list of some of these persons i.e. Don Bradman, Indira Gandhi, Imran Khan, Alfred Karupp.

The hotel is essentially updated as we enter the new Millennium. The rooms are all air-conditioned and have modern amenities, including attached bath rooms, etc, but the old magic remains – No wonder many writers have exclaimed that the GFH is one of the few un-spoilt hotels, left in the world. The hotel, having survived the 19th and 20th centuries is now set to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
