  • Sri Lanka's oldest hotel is the Galle Face Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. In this video I will show you around all of the beautiful amenities that this hotel has to offer and show you exactly why it is one of the best places to stay when in Colombo! Located right in the heart of the Galle Face area, this hotel is extremely close to everything and it makes for a great escape from the bustling streets of Sri Lanka's capital city.

    Hi Chris
    Your Sri Lanka travel series is the best of all travel vlogs I have ever seen in CZcams. We have been visiting Sri Lanka every year for the last 31 years! They are such a hospitable and a friendly nation in the entire world.
    They have a minimum of 3000 year old writren history and more than 20,000 year archaeological history.

    Greetings from Dubai, we are following your videos with great interest. President Lincoln was the US president when Galle face hotel serving guests. Its not only the oldest hotel in Sri Lanka in fact records says oldest star class hotel beyond Suez Canal. U must check out the VIP guest list. Senator Richard Nixon before his presidency. Emperor Hiro Hito, Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh. In fact his first car ever still kept in the hotel. He was a Soldier during WW2. I miss my paradise Sri Lanka. This country deserve much more. Hope it will reach it's true potential. Real facts, when Tourism kicked started in Asia late 70s, Sri Lanka welcomed more tourist than Thailand. Civil war, bad politics and corruption kept us at bay. Hope one day we will bounce back with vengeance. Thanks for everything what you have done. You are amazingly human being. Cheers

Just something to add on, I think you have missed most of the historical sites, may be you can cover it up when you visit again to this beautiful Island nation. As a Sri Lankan I m so sorry to hear what happened to you in Ella, and hope the Sri Lankan Tourism ministry and the Tourism police will take some action against those people. I think other than that you did a fantastic job and oh boy you are a real Ambassador. I sincerely Thank you so much for visiting my country and spreading your experience to the rest of the world. Thank you again and God bless you and family!
