FINE DINING
A heritage boutique hotel nestled into the historic heart of Fort Cochin, just minutes from the iconic Chinese fishing nets, The Malabar House is well positioned for exploring this vibrant port city.
Owned, at different points in its history, by spice traders, tea traders and bankers, The Malabar House became the area’s very first boutique heritage hotel in 1997. The 17 guestrooms and suites are vibrant and tastefully furnished with a carefully curated collection of antique and contemporary artwork. All have large ensuite bathrooms, four-poster beds and either a veranda, terrace or private sit-out, with views over the patio garden or historic Parade Ground.
The hotel’s fine dining restaurant serves a Keralan and Mediterranean inspired menu using the best of local, organic produce wherever possible – accompanied by live classical Indian music performances. For tapas and a taste of fine Indian wines, head to the dedicated wine lounge. When not exploring the nearby attractions by bike, guests can unwind with a rejuvenating Ayurvedic massage or treatment in the sumptuous Purespa.
