The Fort Printers<\/h1>\r\n

The Fort Printers, a restored 18th century building that now serves as an elegant boutique hotel, offers understated elegance and personalised service in the centre of Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This hotel is just 5 minutes\u2019 walk from the beach.<\/h5>\r\n

A place of unparalleled luxury with a deeply historical character. The Printers building, which dates to the 18th century, has operated as a college and then as the site of a conventional printing enterprise. You\u2019ll find lots of solid antiquity in the wooden beams, floors, and comfortable furniture. Frangipani courtyards and an inviting pool will welcome and soothe you.<\/span><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”100″ class=”image-conetent-block”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”left-image”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”10320″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\r\n

Why do we love The Fort Printers?<\/h2>\r\nWe love The Fort Printers mostly for its mysterious colonial luxury and because it\u2019s the ideal location to access all important areas you want to visit when in Galle.

What can I look forward to?<\/h2>\r\n

Warm ambience from an antiquated 18th century college building turned printing press. Reminiscent of Hogwarts in a very nice way.<\/h5>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row_fullwidth_content” row_meta_color=”false” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”100″][vc_column]
