HOTEL GUIDES
Brunton Boatyard
COCHIN, KERALA
Between tropical foliage that covers the land all the way up to the sea, roof-tiled buildings of the Brunton Boatyard sits in the heart of Fort Kochi, carrying the essence of India’s colonial past. A classic example of Portuguese heritage, Brunton Boatyard is a dwelling where traditional interiors meet with modern hospitality.
The straying sunlight plays with cloth curtains that line the beautifully tiled corridors and verandas with wrought-iron railings. The hotel chef specialises in British, Italian and French cuisines but encourages you to try the classic Indian thali which is served in crafted brassware. Spice boxes, tea cabinets and palanquins bask in the lull of hand-drawn fans and flower garlands decorate the evenings. In Brunton Boatyard, at the edge of the sleeping fishing nets that tire of catching sea creatures all day, a lonely flame burns in the night. The Cormorants cry out musings in the deep forest.
