Padma Namaksara !
A lotus welcome to Sri Lanka
at the Galle Face Hotel
One of the oldest in the world, established in 1864!
it boasts of the many important guests
the heritage wing has a majesty of its own, the metal door lift, stair case carving, furniture & artifacts are a treat to see.
the penthouse suite here is as large as my house- a great space, sea facing view, light pours in like a waterfall!
though living comforts are limited & the furniture gothic black
wishing for the original wood like in the recently renovated Regency wing
The new Regency wing -
the experience of the sea is so strong, it roars
the waves often rough & strong
even the pool tastes like the sea
