Cochin, Kerala Holidays, India

This exquisite boutique hotel in the heart of Fort Cochin’s heritage district juxtaposes old South Indian style with modern designer elegance – to stunning effect. Keralan antiques, modern art pieces and luminous Indian textiles decorate the rooms, which open on to a stone-lined courtyard where sunlight sparkles off a gorgeous little pool. The restaurant, serving fusion food to match the decor, is among the city's finest.
