Galle

The Fort Printers

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’ walk from the beach.

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’ll find lots of solid antiquity in the wooden beams, floors, and comfortable furniture. Frangipani courtyards and an inviting pool will welcome and soothe you.

Why do we love The Fort Printers?

We love The Fort Printers mostly for its mysterious colonial luxury and because it’s the ideal location to access all important areas you want to visit when in Galle. There is also an incredible array on the menu.

With handcrafted details, minimal design, and relaxing colours The Fort Printers blends subtle elegance and excellent service in an intimate setting, combining contemporary decor with original features and heirloom antiques from the building’s rich colonial history. The Fort Printers is a space that embraces the true essence and historical depth of its surroundings.

What can I look forward to?

Warm ambience from an antiquated 18th century college building turned printing press. Reminiscent of Hogwarts in a very nice way.

Comfort

The Fort Printers offers accommodation in 5 rooms and 11 suites. The unusual room names are curiously reminiscent of what you hear in a school so you will find Headmaster’s, Prefect’s, History, Geography and Arts. The 11 suites are categorised into 3 types namely 41 Church Suites (5 suites), 54 Pedlar’s Suites (3 suites) and 65 Pedlar Suite’s (3 suites).

There are also other Southern adventures to try such as whale watching and checking out how masks are made, and from the Fort Printers you can also access an International Test Cricket match if there is one ongoing.
