The Brunton Boatyard is modern accolade to the early Dutch and Portuguese architecture of Fort Cochin, the hotel’s lime washed walls and sloping terracotta tiled roof blend perfectly into the Cochin skyline. Situated at the harbor mouth overlooking the busy ship channel. All its rooms overlook the harbor and nearby delta and are tastefully designed and furnished – four-poster beds, spacious bathrooms and all the amenities of a first-class hotel. It has its own private jetty, which doubles as a “cafe”, overlooking the pool and private garden.
