Malabar House , Fort Cochin, Kerala, india

One of Kerala's few 'boutique' hotels, the Malabar House is a fascinating and sophisticated hotel, situated on a peaceful green near the port in Fort Cochin. An inspired use of local furniture and antiques, combined with contemporary designs and stunning, vibrant colour schemes has created a very pleasant hostelry. The main house overlooking a grass covered square, is a pretty old Dutch colonial mansion which has been lovingly restored.  The cuisine and choice of wines is second to none, whilst the staff are friendly yet discreet. The hotel is ideally situated for wandering out to see the Chinese fishing nets or for taking gentle strolls around Cochin island which abounds with churches and interesting architecture.
