Some hotels are so much more than just the spacious rooms, sunken bath tubs and exquisite dinner menus. They have stories to narrate, pieces from history to showcase and they blend seamlessly with the city, unlike some obtrusive neo concrete hotel buildings. AmanGalla is everything I describe above…it has a wonderful story to narrate of its erstwhile existence as the New Orleans Hotel. Located within the ramparts of the UNESCO protected Galle Fort it blends seamlessly with the charming surroundings.
