Fort Bazaar
Galle Fort, Sri Lanka
A former spice merchant's house on Church Street, Fort Bazaar arranges its rooms around courtyards with a lighter, more contemporary feel than Galle's grandest heritage hotels. Bazaar Bedrooms have four-poster beds, while Banyan Bedrooms offer terraces or balconies beneath an old tree. Upper suites provide more space, and the garden swimming pool adds a welcome break from sightseeing. Church Street Social brings Sri Lankan and international cooking to the house, making this an easy base for evenings in the Fort.
