The Galle Face Hotel is Colombo’s most famous hotel. The website says it’s “vintage,” which is certainly true given that it’s one of Colombo’s oldest hotels. It’s colonial, if you will. It’s also one of the most well-situated since it’s right on the ocean and Galle Road, Colombo’s main drag.
Supposedly, enjoying sundowners (translated: drinks at sunset) or staying at the hotel is on some list of 1,000 things to do before you die. Good thing I’m able to enjoy this quite regularly.

P.S.–I’ve never been able to get a good picture of the front facade, but you can just look at that on the web.
