Accomodation
Situated
at the Harbour mouth overlooking the busy ship channel all rooms boast of a
magnificent view of the sea and the Delta. There is never a dull moment out
there for boats of every size and color constantly ply these waters not forgetting
the mammoth Ocean liners which silently glide past just outside the window.
The rooms too are quite quaint and designed in keeping with the rest of the
hotel. The eye catching antique " Four Poster " is the center of attraction
in the rooms and suites. We have even provided little foot stools to help you
climb into bed. The spacious ensuite bathrooms are a luxury with a separate
shower cubicle.
All bathrooms too enjoy a great view and there is no better way to enjoy a luxurious
bath than to lie in the long tub and keep the window shutters open to watch
a fascinating scene below. Most rooms have a balcony.
The corner suites are larger with a separate sitting/dining and a private pantry
for the Butler. The best way to enjoy Cochin is to get on one of the innumerable
boats that ply these waters and cruise around.
The Hotel has its own private jetty, which doubles up as a "cafe".
Over looking the pool garden and the sea. One could spend a full afternoon doing
nothing or enjoy an exotic cocktail at the jetty before dining at one of Bruntons
fine restaurants.
Dining
The History Restaurant is a unique gastronomic exploration of Kerala's famous
port and its rich past. Fort Cochin, has attracted seafaring traders for over
six-centuries. The allure of black pepper, ginger and cardamom has drawn many
traders to Kerala's fertile coast and as the Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch and finally
the British competed to control the spice trade they made their mark on the
local culture. Another reason outsiders made their way to Cochin was Kerala's
reputation for religious tolerance.
