Location -
42 kms from the airport. The Brunton Boatyard is locat ed
on the Cochin Harbour, overlooking the Indian Ocean.
For
what is essentially a small and intimate city resort
hotel, The Brunton Boatyard possesses a remarkable sense
of scale, evident the moment you turn into the tiled
forecourt.
The lobby is a vault of sunlight and air, framed by arches
and overhung with punkahs - enormous, old-fashioned fans
of Indo-Portuguese origin.
Your bags have been whisked away to your room, but why not
take a turn around the corridors before you go? A rich,
and colourful history marks this spot, once the century
old boatyard of Geo. Brunton and Sons. On this site we
recreated the splendour of the city's illustrious past,
using the materials of fin de sieclι Cochin - lime,
terracotta, wood and tile.
The hotel's
nautical past seems to follow you around. On one wall, old
Dutch maps, on another, a small navigation device, in the
grassy courtyard, an ancient anchor. Walk further, turn a
corner, and you find yourself outside the Armory Bar.
Perhaps later, you could enjoy a sundowner here, with old
Portuguese armour and musketry for company.
