Forte Kochi

Cochin

27 Rooms

From $80 per person/night

Bold and bright, the historic Fort fits right into Cochin - and it's close to everything.

Down a tree-lined street, the lemon-yellow walls of Forte Kochi definitely draw the eye. Once a grand Jewish home, the hotel is a blend of Portuguese, Dutch and British styles. Bright hallways dotted with flower arrangements lead to 27 spacious rooms decked out in antique furnishings. Thanks to its location, Forte Kochi is close to just about everything. Stroll down the Beach Walkway or soak up the city's art scene before returning for a dip in the pool and a bite of seafood to the strum of local music.

Tea Bungalow

Cochin

10 Rooms

From $40 per person/night

Steeped in history, the Tea Bungalow is just a quaint street away from the sights of Cochin.

On the Cochin peninsula, the Tea Bungalow fits perfectly with the city's medley of cultures. Up a street lined with palms, the mustard-coloured building once belonged to the spice trade before it was taken over by Brooke Bond Tea - an origin story told in the nautical decor and aged portraits on its walls. The Bungalow's 10 rooms are each named after a trading port in the Indian Ocean, from Zanzibar to Mombasa. Antique French doors open onto the garden where you can relax beside leafy jackfruit, cinnamon and breadfruit trees. Set course for the beachfront or Cochin's many museums, galleries and the ornate Mattancherry Palace.

Brunton Boatyard

Cochin

26 Rooms

From $330 per person/night

Like a scene from a painting, soak up lake views where sea-faring ships were once built.

From the water of Vembanad Lake, Brunton Boatyard looks every inch the heritage hotel. It may not have been built a hundred years ago, but it was constructed in the image of 19th-century Malabar with lime-plastered walls and shining terracotta floors. Stood grandly at the harbour front (complete with swaying palms), watch bobbing boats and the occasional dolphin as you enjoy a private meal on the jetty. Set in Cochin, the blend of culture and cuisines makes for a fascinating place to explore. Meander past the aged buildings of Jew Town and colourful markets of Mattancherry, before returning for a G&T as the sun sets over the lake.

Eighth Bastion

Cochin

From $170 per person/night

In quaint and historic Cochin, museum visits and beach walks are a tuk-tuk ride away.

With its naval themes and framed paintings of scenes at sea, the Eighth Bastion truly belongs in Cochin, a collection of tiny islands off the coast of Kerala. Named after the seven Portuguese bastions of Cochin, it took its place as the eighth on a historic plot of land. The hotel blends modern aesthetics with charming hospitality, beginning with a lime and ginger soda and cold towel on your arrival. Eighth Bastion is, of course, not far from the beach and the quaint city streets make for a diverting stroll, lined with antique shops.

Kerala's oldest hotel is a treasure trove of antiques, art and seaside charm.

Nowadays, it's a boutique hotel set in a large, tropical garden and decked out with vintage furnishings. Most of the staff were born and raised in Cochin so don't be shy about asking questions, they certainly aren't shy about sharing their love for its storied past.
