Brunton Boatyard, Cochin

Located in the centre of Fort Cochin, close to the Chinese fishing nets, this property is one of Cochin's premier hotels. Originally a shipyard, the property beautifully recaptures the city's nautical traditions and its colonial heritage. The lobby is decorated with old maps and antiques, whilst the hotel's exceptional dining facilities encompass a rich profusion of culinary cultures, including fresh seafood from the harbour. Most of the hotel's 22 rooms and suites overlook the sea and have private balconies. Between activities, the garden and outdoor pool area is a prime spot for watching the ships pass through the harbour. As with most CGH properties, filtered water is served in glass bottles to reduce plastic waste and there are complimentary activities such as cooking demonstrations and sunset cruises on Brunton Boatyards private boat.
