GFH has a story to tell. A fact to remember ...
Having stayed at the hotel, Princess Alexandra of Denmark commented "The peacefulness and generosity encountered at the Galle Face Hotel cannot be matched"
Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan
"Happiness is the Galle Face Hotel"

Brisbane - Sally Anne Atkinson
 "7 days at the Galle Face Hotel was bliss. To stay longer would be heaven, an exalted state to which I'm aiming"

Pakistan - Prime Minister
Ali Bhutto :
"It was a great pleasure for me to return to this famous Hotel after 13 Years"

 

Australia - Business Review Weekly (BRW) Eric Ellis :
"Forward letter to Cyril Gardiner - he will reply in the most gracious language". The GFH has nothing of the impersonal sameness of the Hiltons, Hyatts and the Sheratons.

London "Independent" :
"It is worth visiting Sri Lanka just to see the Galle Face Hotel"

Serendib - Alan Moores :
"If the Galle Face Hotel (Asia's Emerald on the Green - Grande dame of Serendib) endures it is largely due to the charm and sagacity of its venerable Chairman Cyril Gardiner"
