The hotel is a member of the small luxury hotels
of the world and has been inspected and visited by our directors on at
least 7 occasions, with overnight stay.
The last guests we booked at The
Lighthouse Hotel were a family group from England who stayed in 3 double
rooms between 29 December 2008 and 5 January 2009. They were pleased
with both the Lighthouse Hotel and Galle. Our Directors visited The
Lighthouse Hotel in Galle on 21 December prior to the arrival of our VIP
guests.
When you arrive at the Lighthouse Hotel near Galle in Sri Lanka, the
Guest Relations Office takes you up a large spiral staircase with a
metal sculpted balustrade depicting a battle scene. Immediately you
ascend to the first floor terrace overlooking the waves breaking on the
rocks below – hence the name The Lighthouse Hotel.
Superb dining is just
some of the experiences to indulge in. Dinner on the terrace watching
the waves crashing on the rocks below is an experience as is seafood
barbeque among the rocks. Alternatively dine a la carte on the upper
floor astride a large semi covered pond where candle lights float on the
water and a terrace offers a great view of Galle. The furnishings
throughout the hotel are minimalist, giving a feel of spaciousness, but
dotted throughout with antique reproductions of the Dutch Galle Fort
era.
