What once stood as an 18th-century private mansion has been lovingly transformed into the Fort Printers hotel, a boutique establishment with 13 luxury suites all offering guests an opulent experience complete with the most attentive service. The Fort area itself dates back 500 years ago when a Portuguese ship first landed in Galle harbour. Now, Galle Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site, bustling with life in the mornings and offering a relaxing refuge most afternoons.
To stay at the Fort Printers is to take a trip back in time to the merging of Dutch and British eras, and guests are invited to take a walk around the Fort’s walls as a way of immersing themselves in the history. This area has kept its charm and along your walk, you’ll even have the chance to meet the local coconut vendor or the town baker.
