Where it sits
The property stands on Tower Road in Fort Kochi, in Ernakulam district, Central Kerala. Kochi is the headquarters of Ernakulam district, a municipal corporation. The hotel is 4.6 km from the centre of Kochi, and it is on the coast, by the sea.
It is 50 m from Fort Kochi, about 5 minutes on foot. That puts the heritage quarter within a short walk. The destination is a heritage area at 3 m elevation, where five hundred years of arrivals sit in one walkable grid: Portuguese, Dutch, Jewish, British and Malabari, stacked on a peninsula at the mouth of a harbour. The interest here is architectural rather than geographical.
Who it suits
It suits travellers who want a full service base within a short walk of Fort Kochi, and who value a pool, spa, restaurant and bar on site. It does not suit anyone who wants to be in the centre of Kochi, since the property is 4.6 km from it, or those who prefer small, facilities light guesthouses.
Planning a stay
November to February gives the best weather. December to April is the time to come in a Biennale year. Fort Kochi is on foot, so the 50 m to the heritage area and the 5 minutes on foot make the location work. The seafront setting keeps the air mild.
