The hotel is a period hotel designed and built according to the Dutch and Portuguese architectural principles of Fort Cochin in the early 16th and 17th centuries. It resembles the old colonial buildings of Cochin and blends very well into the city's skyline. The establishment offers guests a lobby, café, restaurant, conference facilities and room service.
The hotel is situated at the historic site of a 19th century boat yard and has suites overlooking the harbour mouth. It is about 15 minutes by ferry across the backwaters and 30 minutes from Cochin Airport.
