Fort Bazaar, which enjoys a prime position in Galle Fort, is a seriously stylish 18-room boutique hotel that was once a merchant's house.
With interiors inspired by the building's Portuguese heritage, this Sri Lanka heritage hotel is fast becoming one of the most sought after hotels in the fort and it's very clear to see why, with beautiful rooms and an atmospheric bar and restaurant..
Tiled with handmade floor tiles and cosy yet stylish furnishings, Fort Bazaar is one-of-a-kind and brilliantly located. The hotel is fronted by its colourful restaurant and bar, Church Street Social located close to the lobby which leads to the outdoor courtyard and the rooms.
What we love
- One of Galle Fort's most beautiful boutique hotels
- Well located inside the fort; it's easy to explore on foot
- Beautifully designed
- Well thought out rooms
- Good restaurant
- There is a brand new pool, a huge advantage inside the fort
- Part of Teardrop, a small group of hotels, ensures standards are high but not over the top
It can be a little noisy inside the fort, but that's the price you pay for a central location
Outside guests can use the restaurant, but we feel this adds to the atmosphere
Families are very welcome at Fort Bazaar and you'll find both family rooms and a kids menu
Fort Bazaar is found on Church Street in the heart of the historic heritage site of Galle Fort.
