Like the other great port cities of the world, Cochin is heir to a remarkable cultural heritage.

The Brunton Boatyard Hotel is our attempt to distill an aspect of this heritage. And to bring colonial Cochin alive for the contemporary traveler. As in Marseilles, Amsterdam, New York and Macao, this is a place where civilizations have rubbed shoulders. Carried on winds of wood and sail, lifestyles and beliefs have commingled; new cuisines, art forms and societies have been born.
