Amangalla
Galle Fort, Sri Lanka

Amangalla stands on Church Street, within Galle Fort's ramparts, with high ceilings, original wooden floors and four-poster beds giving its rooms a distinctly historic character. A garden swimming pool and spa with hydrotherapy suites provide quieter places to retreat after walking the streets outside. The Dining Room and long veranda make staying in for dinner appealing, too. Choose it for a substantial heritage hotel where the Fort's shops, churches and waterfront are part of everyday life.
