At a distance of 42 Kms from the Internatiponal Airport, all of the Brunton Boatyard Hotel's 22 rooms overlook the sea, and so, by happy circumstance, do the en-suite bathrooms. Located at the harbour mouth, the hotel is within walking distance of all the historic sites of Fort Cochin. 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. Once the century old boatyard of Geo. Brunton and Sons, on this site is recreated the splendour of the city's illustrious past, using the materials of fin de siecl Cochin - lime, terracotta, wood and tile.
