With a design that fuses the colonial architecture of Galle Fort with slick modern styling, The Fortress Resort and Spa is an innovation on the south coast. Stretching along a narrow strip of sun-drenched beach, the hotel is situated within tropical gardens whose grassy flower and tree-flecked lawns wind around the meandering swimming pool which at night is beautifully lit by tiny fiber optic color-changing lights.
Huge pillars, endless polished cement, dark wood floors and high ceilings characterize this hotel, which is surrounded on three sides by towering walls. The effect is softened by modern furnishings, splashes of colour, intelligent lighting and very friendly and helpful staff who make it their aim to cater to your every need and whim.
Featuring distinct styles, the hotel comprises a total of 53 air-conditioned rooms, ideal for travelers from all walks of life. The rooms feature luxurious interior, super king-sized beds fitted with Egyptian cotton and ensuite bathrooms have rain showers.
