Brunton Boatyard, Cochin

FIRST CLASS, HERITAGE

More than a hundred years ago, Geo Brunton and Sons was among the most esteemed shipbuilding firms in Cochin. Overlooking the harbor and serving as a proud testament to this illustrious history is Bruntons Boatyard, a charming boutique hotel rich in character. The hotel has been meticulously restored using original brick, lime, and terracotta materials to preserve its Victorian allure. 

Upon arrival, guests are instantly transported back to colonial India, thanks to the arched wooden ceilings, tiled floors, and traditional punkah fans gently circulating overhead. The walls are decorated with photographs and prints of the historic boatyard and Dutch maritime maps. 

Each of the hotel’s 22 rooms offers a view of the sea, where various vessels, from small fishing boats to trade ships and cruise liners, navigate the waters. Guests may spot pods of dolphins gracefully moving through the waterway. The rooms feature four-poster beds and antique wooden furnishings, with some equipped with balconies that provide a perfect vantage point to observe the world. Fort Cochin is a vibrant blend of cultures, reflected in its diverse cuisine, with each dish on the menu representing one of the many communities that have made this beautiful town their home. 

The culinary offerings are a delightful fusion of Indian, Portuguese, British, Dutch, Arabian, and Jewish influences, making dining here a true pleasure. With the Chinese fishing nets nearby, seafood is a highlight. 

For afternoon relaxation, guests can enjoy tea in the tea lounge, and in the evening, the Armoury Bar is an ideal spot to savor expertly crafted cocktails or beer while engaging in a game of billiards. The hotel’s garden serves as a tranquil green sanctuary, and the outdoor pool offers a refreshing escape from the Kerala sun. 

Additionally, an Ayurvedic massage center is available for those moments when relaxation is desired.
