Hotel Arches

Hotel Arches is a 3 star hotel in Kochi, 50 m from Fort Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot, so the basilica, synagogue lane, godowns, nets and beach of the heritage peninsula are all within a short walk. The 4.3 out of 5 guest score from 314 reviews reflects steady satisfaction. It suits travellers who want a base on the doorstep of Fort Kochi, and it does not offer the quiet of a resort.

The property and what it lists

Hotel Arches is a 3 star property at 1 341 Rose Street, with 4.3 out of 5 from 314 reviews. The facilities cover the practicalities of a city stay: air conditioning, a refrigerator, non smoking rooms and family rooms, plus free WiFi throughout. A 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security are supported by express check in, luggage storage and laundry.

For eating and drinking, the hotel has a restaurant, a bar and room service. A business centre and currency exchange serve working trips, while car hire and bicycle hire make it easy to move around Kochi. A games room and a picnic area add space to unwind, and the 4.3 guest score suggests the essentials are well handled.

Where it sits

Hotel Arches stands in Kochi, the headquarters of Ernakulam district, a municipal corporation, in Ernakulam district, Central Kerala. It is 4.7 km from the centre of Kochi and 50 m from Fort Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot. The coast is on the coast, by the sea.

Fort Kochi is a heritage destination at 3 m. 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.

Everything is on foot: the basilica, the synagogue lane, the godowns, the nets and the beach in one loop. The Biennale has made it the art address of South India in its years.

Who it suits and who it does not

Hotel Arches suits anyone who wants to be inside the Fort Kochi heritage grid: the 50 m distance puts the basilica, synagogue lane, godowns, nets and beach within a short walk, and the 4.3 guest score from 314 reviews indicates reliable comfort. It does not suit travellers seeking a secluded resort or a long list of leisure facilities. If you prefer to step out and walk, this is a practical base.

Planning a stay

The best season is November to February for the weather, and December to April in a Biennale year. The hotel is 4.7 km from the centre of Kochi and 50 m from Fort Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot, so most of your time goes to the heritage area on foot. The 24 hour front desk and luggage storage help with arrival, and bicycle hire is available for further local movement.
