Where it sits in Kochi
The address is Jew Town Road, Kochi, in Ernakulam district, Central Kerala. Kochi is the headquarters of Ernakulam district, a municipal corporation, and the hotel is 3.1 km from the centre of Kochi. It is near the coast.
Fort Kochi, the heritage destination, is 2.4 km away, about 30 minutes on foot. That destination is five hundred years of arrivals in one walkable grid: Portuguese, Dutch, Jewish, British and Malabari, stacked on a peninsula at the mouth of a harbour. The one destination in Kerala where the interest is architectural rather than geographical.
Who it suits and who it does not
The hotel suits travellers who want a full facility set and do not mind being away from the Fort Kochi core, since the walk takes about 30 minutes or a short shuttle ride. It also suits families and anyone needing step free access. It does not suit those who want to step out of the door into the synagogue lane or the beach loop, or who prefer a small, simple place.
Planning your stay
Come between November and February for the weather. In a Biennale year, December to April is the season, when the art events fill the destination. The walk to Fort Kochi is straightforward in daylight; after dark, use the shuttle or car hire. Breakfast and special diet menus are available, so early plans are easy.
