Brunton Boatyard Hotel Kochi |  |
|
The tranquil waters of the Beautiful backwaters and the palm fringed emerald canals are fast gaining momentum as one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Kochi earlier known as Cochin is an important port in Kerala and is used as most tourists as the pivot to their itinerary to Kerala. They mostly arrive at Kochi first and then move on to their onward destination from Kochi. However, Kochi itself deserves quite an attention as a tourist destination by its own right- its long sandy beaches lined with Chinese fishing nets, numerous churches, synagogues and other leftovers of a colonial past. Likewise, the accommodations available at Kochi are numerous. So is the number of heritage hotels in Kochi. Most of these heritage hotels belonged to illustrious Portugese and Dutch families who had landed in Kochi and stayed back. But given the high maintenance cost and declining fortunes of most of these, families, more often than not they turned these mansions into hotels with the hope of rebuilding their hopes from the ruins left by their forefathers. The Brunton Boatyard hotel Kochi is a sea facing hotel and sports a blend of Dutch and Portugese architecture on the outside and an 18th century décor inside. The sloping tiled roof, lime washed walls and terra cotta floors adds up to the blend of Portuguese and Dutch architecture; by god you can smell the Mediterranean from the terrace of this hotel that is a premiere heritage hotel of the city.
