Description
This restored period building that is our hotel sits well with its colonial era surroundings and counterparts – the great trading houses of British India when pepper from Kerala was considered as precious as gold. Like the cultures they celebrate and display, Brunton Boatyard is a five star hotel whose interiors reflect an eclectic but tasteful blend of English, Portuguese and Dutch influences as seen in its high ceilings, hanging fans and a plethora of artifacts and curios from a great mercantile age known for its pomp and glamour. The scent of colonial history is all around you as you take a tour of the historic Fort Cochin area where the hotel stands. Though little remains of the fort itself there are legacies of its proud history to be seen everywhere.

The Portuguese came to trade in spices but left behind the ‘Indian’ red chilli for us to innovate with. The Syrian Christian community cooked up a variety of pork and other dishes that went very well with our own native idiappams, or string hoppers. The Jews of Cochin found coriander both Kosher and delicious and used it in a variety of their preparations, while the Dutch noticed that their puddings took on a whole new flavour with a pinch of fresh cinnamon
