Becoming the first boutique heritage hotel in Fort Cochin in 1996 this property is not short of history itself having been home to bankers, spice traders and families since 1755. This colourful past is reflected in the art of the hotel which has been curated throughout to show how Kerala has sat as a stage between East and West for centuries.

The 17 rooms here offer light airy spaces decorated in bright colours and individual designs. There is 1 Duplex Suite and 5 Roof Garden Suites upstairs, whilst 11 Deluxe Rooms are situated around the courtyard downstairs. A swimming pool is central to the property and perfect for cooling down in the daytime heat although it can feel a bit public at times. At night it adds to the atmosphere as live music is played amongst water features and candles whilst diners enjoy the courtyard restaurant.

The food at the Malabar junction restaurant has been stated as some of the finest seafood in the South of India, serving a more innovative and modern twist on traditional dishes. Additionally there is a wine bar which has a tapas menu, rather unique to Indian restaurants.

Note: this hotel currently only holds a beer and wine license and no other alcohol is served. Guests may bring their own alcohol to consume in their rooms if they wish.

Top Tip: Whilst all ages are welcome this property is better suited to adults and therefore offers a complete sanctuary for those seeking a more tranquil experience.
