Brunton Boatyard

Moored on a historic stretch of Cochin's famed harbour, the Brunton Boatyard Hotel is our tribute to another age. Resurrected from the remains of a Victorian shipbuilding yard, it gives the modern traveller a unique opportunity to dwell amidst the shadow-plays of 19th century history. The recreated period building blends in perfectly with its colonial era surroundings.

Eating at Brunton Boatyard’s History Restaurant is literally a journey through 30 different communities living in Kochi. At the History Restaurant, these cuisines have been given a new lease of life, recreated faithfully each evening by chefs who did their research in the best place possible - with the old families of Cochin. On the other side, Terrace grill the second Restraunt offers the catch of the day where you can chose and catch the fish yourself and ask the restaurant to cook for you. You can also enjoy your evening in Port - Armoury Cafe is a warm, intimate space, just perfect for a long evening of Sundowners and tall stories. Try a few of the bartenders special concoctions examine the old flintlocks on the wall and ruminate on life's meaning.

Armed with a bicycle and a map, you could spend a somnolent afternoon cycling the city's markets and old quarters, seeing the Fort Cochin most tourists never see. Spectacular sunsets, glorious sea air and probably a dolphin or two! A synchronized Kerala massage (done by two expert masseurs whose actions mirror each other), could be just the ticket, easing the leg muscles and wafting you straight into drinks -and-dinner mode. Billiards and Time Travel - This corner of the lobby was once described by a guest as a Victorian throwback, and it is indeed a strange hybrid, part raj-era railway waiting room (complete with Punkahs), part colonial club. Lounge around, pot a ball or two, read the papers, doze and yes, there is honey still for tea.
