Historic Accommodations

The Old Harbour Hotel occupies a 300-year-old Portuguese mansion with 13 rooms named after Fort Cochin's streets. Rooms feature air conditioning, minibars, seating areas, electric kettles, and flat-screen TVs. Garden View rooms overlook the courtyard fountain, while Heritage Suites on the first floor have wooden floors and extra space. All bathrooms include free toiletries, slippers, and organic soaps.

Garden Dining Experience

The restaurant borders the tropical garden and serves Kerala breakfast dishes when requested the night before. The menu focuses on seafood, with most dinners accompanied by traditional Indian music performances. Meals are served on a large open-air terrace adjacent to the palatial entrance hall.

Pool and Wellness

The property features a sizeable outdoor swimming pool surrounded by padded sun loungers. A full-service spa offers Ayurvedic massage treatments, and the hotel provides yoga classes. The garden includes a stage for cultural performances amid mango trees and lotus ponds.

Fort Cochin Location

The hotel sits opposite the Chinese Fishing Nets in Fort Cochin's heritage zone. It is 300 meters from Fort Kochi Beach, 500 meters from Church of Saint Francis and Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica, and 2 km from the Dutch Palace and Jewish Synagogue. Ferries to Ernakulam take 15 minutes for train station access. Cochin International Airport is 45 km away.

Guest Services

Free WiFi is available in public areas. Services include a tour desk, luggage storage, and city tour guides. The hotel provides two bottles of mineral water daily, dental amenity kits, and comfortable robes. There is no formal lobby, but the property displays Indian and international art throughout its alcoves and corners.

“In my opinion, this is *the* place to stay in Kochi. The building itself is a beautifully restored heritage property, now a tranquil retreat with a gorgeous pool set amongst lush gardens. The commitment to hospitality is evident; the staff anticipates every need, and the restaurant emphasizes fresh, flavorful seafood, highlighting local tastes.”
