An Epic Journey Recalling the Romance of Travel’s Halcyon Days.
The legendary Galle Face Hotel, which opened in 1864 and is the oldest hotel east of Suez, has launched Galle Face Expeditions, a series of insightful journeys to Sri Lanka’s cultural and adventure travel hot spots, offering the cream of a country voted 2019’s No. 1 Travel Destination in the World by travel bible and tastemakers Lonely Planet.
The Galle Face Expeditions are a chance for the most discerning travellers to broaden their horizons, savour adventure, encounter art and culture in the most exotic and fascinating destinations without sacrificing luxury or comfort.
The Galle Face Hotel, an establishment steeped in tradition and legend, whose portals echo with the whispers of the luminaries who have sojourned there down through the years, is delighted to revive this refined mode of travel with a seamless safari into adventure, fine dining, culture, wildlife, history and romance. Experience the unique grandeur of the Galle Face Hotel, then embark on an expedition to destinations including Sigiriya, Polonarruwa and Ella, as well as must-see historic bastions of eccentric colonial charm like the Queen’s Hotel Kandy.
THE GRANDEST OF DAMES
Naturally, the Galle Face Expedition begins in pampered luxury at the legendary Galle Face Hotel, sprawled magisterially beside the Galle Face Green in Colombo, lulled by the murmer of the surf and cooled by the eternal sea breezes.
