Situated within 25 minutes' walk of the historic fortress "Fort", the 5-star Le Grand Galle hotel offers a peaceful retreat at an outdoor swimming pool with a hot tub. Here, guests can take advantage of a Jacuzzi and a sauna and visit Jungle Beach, located 3.3 km away.
Location
The hotel is 250 m from the cathedral Saint Mary's Church and fairly close to a pristine beach of Galle. The Lighthouse Street can be found nearly 30 minutes' walk from the Le Grand Galle.
The golden sandy beach is located around 2 km away. The Old Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct is about a 35-minute walk away, while Galle train station is situated about a 20-minute stroll from the hotel.
Galle Public bus station, allowing a good connection throughout the city, is not far from the Le Grand.
Rooms
Overlooking the sea, some rooms at the property feature soundproof windows furnished with a writing table. Guests can make use of a mini fridge bar and coffee/tea making equipment, and relax with a multi-channel TV. For more comfort, bath sheets, along with a walk-in shower, are provided.
Eat & Drink
Specialising in international cuisine, Taste restaurant also looks over the ocean. The lounge bar with poolside views is ideal for a relaxing drink. You can try American cuisine in a restaurant which is located very close by.
Leisure & Business
Guests can enjoy a steam room and spa therapy for an extra charge. Le Grand Galle hotel features live performances and cooking classes. There is a gym at this Galle hotel. A wellness area will surely add to a perfect stay.
“Le Grand Galle certainly wins on location, with its proximity to the Dutch Fort and those striking views overlooking the beach. The artful décor, intended to showcase local culture, is a definite plus, as is the exclusive private beach access. However, I would expect more polished service at this price point.”
