A 5 suite private boutique hotel located in Galle Fort that offers up some of the best food in the area. |
| |
|
Housed in a magnificent building that wraps itself around a corner this quiet hotel is earning a fabulous reputation. Rather than us waffle on about it we thought to simply paste the words of Conde Nast Traveller. |
| |
|
“Guests get the convenience of hotel services and the ambience of a villa at Fort Printers… The eighteenth-century mansion turned printing facility now houses five stylish, antiques-filled suites—four linked via a second-story walkway, common in colonial buildings of the era; the fifth, poolside. The jackwood floors, copper-lined rain showers, and extra-long lap pool are generating a buzz among design-savvy visitors.”

Before its incarnation as a printing mill and long before it became a stylish hotel the Printers building was a college and in keeping with this the suites are named The Headmaster’s, The Prefect’s, History, Geography, and Arts. |
| |
|
History, Geography and Arts have high and airy ceilings, exposed original wood beams and polished wood floors. Each suite is elegantly furnished with a large platform bed, an oversized chaise lounge, and a writing desk. Sumptuous red, saffron, blue, purple, orange, and magenta colors in silk and cotton drape the cushions and windows and give a secluded, sensuous feeling. |
| |
|
The Headmaster’s suite overlooks the pool, the Galle harbor and the lighthouse. The bedroom is entered through the dressing room cum bathroom. |
| |
|
The Prefect’s suite is in the courtyard and overlooks the swimming pool. Highly private, the bedroom is furnished with large platform bed, an oversized chaise lounge and a writing desk. The spacious bathroom includes a separate shower room and an antique bathtub. |
