Hotel Description
The 16th to the 19th centuries were the time of the great sea voyages, an age when civilizations met.
Cochin is the product of one of history's great tugs-of-war, as the powers of Europe struggled to dominate the spice trade, and the pepper of Kerala became, gram for gram, as precious as gold.
The Portuguese, the Dutch, the Jews and the English came in turn, and the port of Cochin became a crossroads.
Carried on wings of wood and sail, lifestyles and beliefs commingled; new cuisines, art forms and societies were born.
