The Malabar House, Fort Kochi

Touted as the first boutique hotel to grace the charming Fort Kochi area, Malabar House is an iconic property. If your budget permits, staying here is an experience for old world charm and hospitality. But a visit to their restaurant for a poolside glass of wine and a meal will also suffice for those who’d like to curb their indulgences but still dabble a little bit.
