Malabar House
One of Kerala's only "boutique" hotels, the Malabar House is a fascinating and sophisticated hotel, situated on a peaceful green on Fort Cochin. An inspired mixture of local furniture and antiques, combined with contemporary designs and stunning, vibrant colour schemes, is all housed within a pretty, old Dutch colonial mansion which has been lovingly restored to its former glory. The cuisine and choice of wines is second to none, whilst the staff are friendly yet discreet. It is ideally situated for wandering out to see the Chinese fishing nets or for taking gentle strolls around the island which abounds with churches and interesting architecture.
