The Malabar
House has become, quite understandably, one of the most
sought-after properties in Fort Kochi. Formerly a Dutch
colonial mansion that has been lovingly restored, the

The Brunton
Boatyard, the refurbished colonial-era Geo Brunton &
Sons boatyard, which looked after the empires shippers
for centuries, is a fabulous monument to the past, a property
full of history, memories and stories. It's an unpretentious
and unique 22-bedrooom boutique hotel. |

Taj Malabar, Kochi |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Taj Malabar
is, as you would expect, a fine hotel. The hotel sits
in the heart of an ancient city and reflects that history
admirably for a chain hotel - the dark-wooden, intricate
ceilings and brass oil lamps producing an old-world feel.

Trident Hilton, Kochi |

|
|
|
|
 |
|
As one would
expect from a member of the Hilton Group, the Trident
Hilton is a slick 93-bedroom hotel offering high-quality
contemporary facilities to the business and leisure market.
The staff are efficient, well-trained and friendly. The
food is top-class. The bedrooms are spotless. |

Fort Heritage, Fort Kochi |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Fort Heritage
is basic, good-value 12-bedroom hotel with an old-world
feel and a slightly brooding atmosphere. It is not luxurious
- not even the three two-roomed suites can reasonably
claim to be that - but it has some soul having been reconverted
from a 17th Century Dutch mansion. |

Gokulam Park Inn, Kochi |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Gokulam Park
Inn is a typical mid-range Indian business hotel - spotlessly
clean, thoroughly efficient and rather garishly furnished.
It offers excellent value for those needing to stay closer
to the new town. There is also a decent lounge bar downstairs
leading off the shiny, marble-floored lobby. |
