About the Galle Fort Hotel

Located inside the UNESCO World Heritage Galle Fort, the historic Galle Fort Hotel is housed in a Dutch mansion that dates back 300 years. Through heritage restoration, the building's Dutch walls and facade were conserved as authentically as possible.

In its new look, the Galle Fort Hotel features 11 luxurious suites with varying themes and decor, all around a widely Instagrammed frangipani-lined courtyard. Expert restorers were brought in to work with the antiques, which are seen across the hotel and suites.

The hotel houses Ropewalk, the world's first arrack-speciality bar, with its 'arrack wall' and menu featuring modern Sri Lankan inspiration.

  • Guided Arrack Tasting At Ropewalk

    Arrack is a quintessential Sri Lankan drink with over 100 varieties of the spirit being produced locally. This experience will venture through five speciality arracks that will be paired with carefully chosen nibbles known as 'bites' in Sri Lanka. So, delve into the world of arrack one sip at a time!

  • Feasts Of Ceylon

    A nation is best discovered through its food. The story of many communities is best learned by sitting down and partaking in a meal with its members. This was one of the founding principles of the food menu at Ropewalk. Feasts of Ceylon provide a special experience for the discerning traveller to sit down and learn of the many cuisines of the island, and through this experience perhaps gain a deeper understanding of the magic of Sri Lanka.

    Step into the story of Sri Lanka's most iconic tree, the coconut, in this immersive experience. Taste king coconut water, coconut treacle, and arrack, try your hand at making Pol Sambol, and discover why the coconut is known as Sri Lanka's Tree of Life. The journey ends with a tribute to the toddy tappers and an optional arrack tasting at The Ropewalk.
