Accommodation:
Situated at the Harbour mouth overlooking the busy ship channel all rooms
boast of a magnificient 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.
Restaurants:
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, Portugese, 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.
The Terrace
Grill adjacent to the History restaurant opens for Dinner. Choice
selection of the " Day's Catch" fresh from the Chinese fishing
nets and the fishing boats that constantly pass by the hotel will be
grilled to perfection, just the way you like. Overlooking the busy ferry
terminal and the bazaar down below, perfect place to watch the life of a
city while enjoying a delicious sea food dinner.
The collection of
dishes is the result of the tireless efforts of our Chef's who convinced
the descendents of some of fort Cochin's oldest families to share their
prized recipes, we hope it is the most delicious history lesson you ever
have.
