Two nights in an eight-room house on the Parade Ground, where a Portuguese mint became a Dutch trading house.
The building was a Portuguese mint for silver coins, then the Dutch East India Company's, whose VOC emblem still marks the threshold, then an English plantation manager's bungalow. Eight rooms now, behind scalloped walls off the Parade Ground, restored by Goetz Hagmuller and Bijoy Jain into something part Dutch, part art deco and part nothing at all.
Fort Kochi is a place you have to be walked through to understand. The layers are the point and they are not signposted. Our price carries a guided walk with a local, two nights in the house and breakfast each morning, so the one thing worth arranging is arranged before you arrive.
An eight room contemporary hotel by the Parade Ground in Fort Kochi, in a building that has been a Portuguese mint, a Dutch East India Company house and an English plantation manager's bungalow.
