Sea Spray Restaurant
seafood restaurant in the midst of a bustling city, yet just a few steps away from the Indian Ocean, where you can dine under the stars in candlelight, with the twinkling lights of the distant ships as they lie at anchor near the harbour. The sound of the sea is music to your ears as you enjoy a gourmet meal prepared from the freshest of seafood. The new menu features mouth-watering new creations by the Executive Chef Haleesha. And they can be accompanied by the wine of your choice from the extensive list available.

Wine Lounge
Leading off from the main lobby of the Galle Face Hotel - Regency Wing, the Wine Lounge is designed to pay tribute to the hotel's grand history. Inspired by elements of nature, its teak wood floors and wall panelling set the tone. The unusual blend of fabrics used in the interior design, the lighting in fire colours of red, orange and yellow, and the spectacular view combine to create a mood of elegance and intimate luxury. The music is ethnic, and chosen to create a sense of haunting mystique unique to Galle Face Hotel. The Wine Lounge is more than a place to savour your favourite vintage with friends. It is a lifestyle experience for lovers of fine wines, cheeses and cigars.

Facing the sea, easy going setting and nice location. The old wing certainly requires an uplift especially the floor carpets. Regrettably I was placed at the old wing (upgraded executive suite room) which marred my entire stay at the hotel otherwise would have been great. Requested for room change to new wing was poorly attended to.
Unless I get to stay at the new wing in my next visit, I will not go back to hotel.

Large rooms, hospitality. It is very close to the beach. I like it. LOcal & international telephone facilities are not freely available. I had to take phone calls through the operator. It is really frustrated.

Its historical buildings. The setting is superb.
The staff are courteous and helpful. The food is
good. The pool is still good, the new sauna/steam/exercise rooms are very good. The hotel is suffering from age. They are upgrading it room by room and good work is being done, but some is better late than not at all. The food is
buffet always and the small ala carte menu is poor.
I have been here before and love the place. But
Management needs some good hotel consultants, it could use a policy review. Lesser staff are often unable to perform if asked a question. The hotel has become
a popular wedding and reception factory -- a money maker, no doubt, but a definite distraction
for the guests.
Hotel Feature Tip : Keep asking for a better room. We moved three times and finally had a giant room on the top floor. It was an upgrade because they couldn't really do what we wanted. Sadly, it had views all around of the rooftops.
