Evocative resort hotel housed within the 400-year-old Galle Fort at the southwestern tip of the island. At the heart of the current property is the colonial-era New Oriental Hotel, which opened in 1865. Strikingly elegant public areas include the Great Hall and the Library, appointed with period furniture, antique silver and chandeliers. The equally gracious Dining Room serves Continental and regional Sri Lankan cuisine. The 28 rooms and suites have teak-and-jackwood floors, writing desks, planters’ chairs and chaises longues and overlook the stone fort or lush gardens. Aside from a lovely 23-foot outdoor pool and yoga pavilion, the hotel’s chief facility is The Baths, a spa specializing in Ayurvedic treatments and hydrotherapy; 65-foot pool, sauna and steam room as well. Cooking classes available.
