Why we love it
Experience Colombo through unmatched experiences and exclusive glimpses into Sri Lanka's capital city of old and new.
Enjoy a game on the south lawn with a refreshing Pimm's Cup, a tradition that was started within the Galle Fort Hotel during the last century.
Relax with a cool drink or swim a few laps in the saltwater pool after exploring the city. The pool area is a great place to sip a cocktail and watch the sun go down.
Walk through the hotel with the house historian, who points out architectural highlights while sharing stories and legends of years past.
Play a game of chess or backgammon or simply sit to escape from the hum drum of the city. Pick up a volume by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Noel Coward or Mark Twain, all of whom stayed at the hotel in the past.
Walk through memory lane with the hotel's museum of famous faces and artefacts set on the second floor of the south wing of the hotel.
Forage through the forest for ingredients then prepare traditional local meals such as river fish curry, spiced yams, forest salads and Kankun in the outdoor jungle kitchen.

We had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. All the hotels, transfers, trips and experiences arranged by True Travel were perfect and all the arrangements went seamlessly according to plan. Our guide and driver, Thusita, was a really nice man and so knowledgeable, going out of his way to make sure that we experienced many of the Sri Lankan foods and traditions as possible. I would recommend True Travel to anyone especially if you have not visited the country before.
