Having stayed at the hotel, Princess Alexandra of Denmark commented "The peacefulness and generosity encountered at the Galle Face Hotel cannot be matched" With an impressive arched faƧade that overlooks a kilometre-long stretch of lawn called the Galle Face Green, the hotel borrowed its name from this charming promenade way back in 1864. Built by four British entrepreneurs who were looking to start a business in the city, Galle Face Hotel is the only Heritage city hotel overlooking the Indian Ocean.
