The Colonial architecture and the sea front, City Centre location of the Hotel itself adds to the grandeur of the functions hosted in this Hotel. Hence, the Grand Ballroom which accommodates 350 in dinning and the Jubilee Room which accommodates 250 in dinning has been the most popular.

Another unique feature in the Galle Face Hotel is having the availability of an open air ‘Patio’ by the sea, which has been the perennial favourite for outdoor weddings as a backdrop, the setting sun over the Indian Ocean is an unmatched visual of immense photographic value. The photographic value of the ballroom with its Colonial architecture is another reason for the big demand. Very few heritage Hotels in the world could boast of such a magnificent Ballroom.
