Amangalla

Occupying a 17th-century Dutch colonial building within the ramparts of Galles historic fort, Amangalla is woven unmistakably into the rich tapestry of this enthralling city. The hotel retains its original polished teak floors, antique furniture, and 19th-century artefacts from its former life as the New Oriental Hotel, preserving a bygone era with elegant integrity and offering guests an atmospheric insight into the many chapters of the storied citadel on Amangalla's doorstep. Ayurvedic healing therapies soothe and restore in the baths, which also include a yoga pavilion and a barber shop and salon. The white-walled Dining Room, adorned with starched linen and chandeliers, serves elegant meals, and high tea can be enjoyed with views overlooking Church Street. Amangalla's historic, dignified ambiance suits occasions of all kinds, whether it is an intimate festivity or a charmed wedding.
