Forte Kochi
Forte Kochi is located in the centre of the historic Fort Kochi, a historic town which holds many a story. The hotel itself is regal and luxurious, once a partial family home, the rooms are grand, spacious and colourful, with tinted windows flooding the rooms with soft light. Guests can spend their days exploring their interesting surroundings, with friendly and helpful staff who are more than happy to arrange an excursion, or guests can unwind in the library, or with a refreshing dip in the sparkling swimming pool.
Forte Kochi
Fort Kochi is one of the oldest cosmopolitan port cities in the world. A town so strategically placed that many a battle had been fought and many a ship burnt to lay claim to its generous shores. Fort Kochi has welcomed weary travellers for centuries from Arab and Chinese traders to Jewish people seeking shelter and new lives. The town has witnessed many a conquest and has been colonised by the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British in succession. Its tree hemmed streets, sun-kissed shores and tall ancient edifices still bear remnants of past eras. And in one such imposing yet unassuming structure is Forte Kochi.
The nearest airport is Kochi International Airport, 44 km from the property.
