The Ambassadors House was home to the representative of Bangladesh until recently taken over and restored by its present owners. Extensive renovations saw the opening up of ancient archways allowing light and air to flood in.
The house is set back off the road and has a columned entrance leading into the sitting room with deep and comfortable sofas. Five bedrooms comfortably sleep 10 people. There are four double rooms and one twin room, all with en suite bathrooms.Three double rooms are on the ground floor overlooking the pool. The master suite and twin bedrooms are on the upper floor.
Designer Charles Hulse, himself a long time resident of the Fort, has captured the essence of what makes a tropical house special.
