It is designed and built in the style and principles of early Dutch and Portuguese architecture the hotel blends very well to the old colonial buildings of Fort Cochin and the huge Chinese fishing nets nearby.

LOCATION : 15 minutes by ferry across the backwaters. The Cochin airport is just 30 minutes, rail and bus terminals are just 7 Kms away by road from the boat jetty.

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.

RESTAURANT & BAR : 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.
