A boutique hotel in an old merchant’s house on Church Street, inside Galle Fort.

Fort Bazaar, run by Teardrop Hotels, fills an old merchant’s house on Church Street, in the middle of Galle Fort. You step out of the door into the lanes, a few minutes from the ramparts. Who it suits: couples who want to stay in the heart of the Fort’s lanes. Things to know: it is in a historic building; the beaches are a short drive away.

  • Inside the Fort
  • Historic house
  • Restaurant and courtyard
