Hotel Description
Like the other great port cities of the world, Cochin is heir to a remarkable cultural heritage.
As in Marseilles, Amsterdam, New York and Macao, this is a place where civilizations have rubbed shoulders. Carried on winds of wood and sail, lifestyles and beliefs have commingled; new cuisines, art forms and societies have been born.
The Brunton Boatyard Hotel is our attempt to distill an aspect of this heritage. And to bring colonial Cochin alive for the contemporary traveler.
Location description
For what is essentially a small and intimate city resort hotel, The Brunton Boatyard possesses a remarkable sense of scale, evident the moment you turn into the tiled forecourt.
The lobby is a vault of sunlight and air, framed by arches and overhung with punkahs - enormous, old-fashioned fans of Indo-Portuguese origin.
Your bags have been whisked away to your room, but why not take a turn around the corridors before you go? A rich, and colourful history marks this spot, once the century old boatyard of Geo. Brunton and Sons. On this site we recreated the splendour of the city's illustrious past, using the materials of fin de sieclé Cochin - lime, terracotta, wood and tile. br>
