Fodor's Expert Review The Malabar House
1/268 Parade Rd., Fort Kochi, Kerala, 682001, India
This luxurious but homey early-18th-century Dutch villa is highlighted by a dramatic and very tempting swimming pool, garnished with fallen frangipani, sitting in its courtyard garden. Rooms in this delightful hotel, which once housed European traders and bankers, are a mixture of regional-traditional and contemporary style and a mismatch of colors. The blue-and-red walls are offset by antique wooden furnishings and somehow, the curious combinations of elements work.
PROS
- deluxe rooms open into private garden
- restaurant, Malabar Junction, might be Kochi's best
- hotel staff are friendly and helpful
CONS
- book in advance during high season
- no elevator
- some rooms are noisy due to street traffic
