Hotels in Fort, Colombo

Fort is Colombo's historic commercial centre — the district of Dutch and British-era colonial buildings around the old lighthouse and Chatham Street, now undergoing restoration alongside gleaming new towers. The Pettah bazaar is steps away; the Colombo National Museum and Viharamahadevi Park are a short tuk-tuk. The Galle Face Green esplanade runs along the ocean nearby and is best at sunset when the entire city seems to stroll along it eating isso vadei. For a central Colombo base with easy walkability to the city's most historic sites and the ocean on the western edge, Fort is the functional and most interesting district.

26 hotels within walking distance of Fort, in the heart of Colombo, including 17 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is The Steuart by Citrus, about 86m from the centre of the neighbourhood.
