The new kid on the block, the Fort Bazaar opened in Galle, Sri Lanka, in February 2016. It had an excellent pedigree, coming from the same stable as The Wallawa, a colonial manor house near to the airport which is an oasis of tranquillity before or after a long flight. And to serve your best interests, we were amongst the first through the door.
After our exhaustive enquiries (involving much exploring, eating and drinking and blissful sleeping) we came to the somewhat inevitable conclusion: this place is just brilliant.
Have dinner at Church Street Social. The hotel’s own restaurant is a treat. Not only will you enjoy refreshing aircon whilst dining but the menu introduces modern flair and creativity which you may not find elsewhere.
Take a stroll out of the fort and into the new town. Head for the bus station to see daily life in Galle, with the street food sellers and hustle and bustle. The samosas at the small stand opposite the Colombo highway bus stop are superb.
