:: Galle Face Regency, Colombo Sri Lanka ::
|
The Galle Face Hotel, established in 1864 and once the mansion of a British Governor, is a masterpiece of Victorian architecture. It possesses an unrivalled location in the capital, on the edge of the Indian Ocean and at the foot of Galle Face Green, and offers an appealing, colonial-style alternative to travellers seeking a change from standard five-star business hotels. The Galle Face's new upmarket Regency wing offers a remarkable transition between old and new. It incorporates the traditional Victorian features so successfully that already it blends seamlessly with the older part of the hotel. Although completed in early 2006, there is no sense of glitzy modernity. Its stately wooden paneling and floors, and staunchly Victorian rooms, are immediately resonant of a bygone age. Like the older part of the hotel, the Regency retains the dignified and polite atmosphere that gave it such fame in the colonial age. |

Visitors Most Rated Property of the Sri Lanka ..
The most picturesque in the world. Soft sound of waves lapping in to the beach, endless strip of white sandy beaches.
Sri Lanka's famous historical sites have become the staple of many a travel programme - Sigiriya.
The Sri Lankan highlands enhance the country's richly-varied landscape. Only a few hours from the coast, here is a land of rushing waterfalls.
