What it is
Fort Bazaar is at 26 Church Street, inside Galle Fort, in what the hotel's page calls a spice merchant's home that has been restored. The page gives no dates for the building or the hotel, so we give none. It has 18 rooms.
The restaurant and bar, Church Street Social, serves dishes made with produce from local farmers and fishermen in the south. The page also mentions a newly opened swimming pool.
Why our itinerary prices it
Our Sri Lanka itinerary lists three options for the three Galle Fort nights: Amangalla and Fort Bazaar inside the walls, and Jetwing Lighthouse just outside them. We priced the Galle nights at Fort Bazaar; the published rates we found for Amangalla are higher, so choosing it would raise the total.
Rooms and the rate
The rate in our itinerary is US$233 a night, from Mr & Mrs Smith. It is a published figure for no stated date or room category, so check which room it covers.
Who it suits
It suits travellers who want to sleep inside the fort walls in a small hotel, with the lanes of the old town outside the door, for a few unhurried days.
It is a poor fit for anyone who wants a beach on the doorstep or a large resort with many facilities: with 18 rooms it is small.
