Old Harbour Hotel
Kochi (Cochin) Kerala

At the heart of ancient Fort Cochin, Kerala, a place that exudes history and culture, is the 'Old Harbour Hotel'. A 300 year-old building that has for long been a heritage monument of this town, now reopened as a boutique hotel. Built in the Dutch style of architecture with hints of Portuguese influences, it was the first hotel of old Cochin. Later it remained a residential home to employees of English tea-broking firms until it was left unused for a period of time.

When we chanced upon this charming structure with its fine lines of architecture and immense grandeur, we believed its revival would allow one to re-live a glorious past. This led us to the restoration of what was known as the Old Harbour House into a hotel of style and leisure, keeping the original façade and architectural elements intact, to bring alive the old hotel of previous sea- farers.

Our architect Karl Damschen, a specialist in restoration of ancient buildings, has paid close attention to every minute detail, making sure of the preservation of the building and its natural surroundings. However, to ensure our guests a comfortable stay, we have also adhered to all modern amenities.

We are people who have a special interest in the heritage and culture of Fort Cochin. Having been raised in this town, to us Fort Cochin and its ancient monuments are more than just a tourist attraction. Originally involved in business, we decided to follow our passion, which inspired us to take up the preservation of Old Harbour House. And thus, this boutique hotel has been created with much passion and love. Love for this antique structure and love for Fort Cochin. We believe, as our guests, you should experience the ancient in a profound manner, in all its charm and beauty.

There can be no better location in the whole of Cochin than at the Brunton. Right there at the Harbour mouth, the Delta of teh famed Keralan Backwaters and the Indian Ocean every room promising a grand stand view of the water world below.

Rooms

The interiors of our hotel, designed and decorated by Karl Damschen, is an eclectic blend of dated furniture and varied art that juxtapose to create a unique style. Our thirteen spacious rooms, each of them named after the various old streets of Fort Cochin, are plush with high ceilings and either look into a courtyard with a fountain or over the ancient Chinese Fishing nets. Our special garden cottages, which were added to offer a feel of Kerala, have open-to-the-sky showers, a veranda and a private pond. We also have a large garden with a swimming pool as well as a stage for cultural performances, all of it set amidst plenty of natural green. For the comfort of our guests, there is an Ayurvedic spa and a large open-air terrace. We are aware that our guests are special and to ensure this, care has been paid to organic soaps and lotions in the bathrooms, comfortable robes and slippers as well as plenty of bottled water.

Complimentary facilities : Free Wifi, Yoga session, Tea and Coffee maker, Two bottles of Mineral water. Dental and toilet amenity kits

Restaurant

Food has always been an important criterion for us. At our restaurant, we ensure that only the freshest of foods are offered at all times. Home made breads and plenty of freshly squeezed juices are a priority here. Only organically grown vegetables are used, while the meats are of the highest quality available. As the hotel rests close to the fishing nets, we believe our guests would want to enjoy a variety of seafood. For this, we have a special seafood menu with a barbecue every night in the garden. Our chef has also painstakingly conjured up an array of dishes to suit various taste palates.
