Brunton Boatyard occupies the site of a Victorian-era shipbuilding yard on the edge of Fort Kochi's harbour, and it wears the trade honestly: ship's-timber pillars, punkah fans swaying over the lobby, and portraits of the harbour's历史 traders — Arab, Jewish, Portuguese, Dutch, British — watching from the walls.
Every room faces the water, which in Kochi means theatre: dredgers, ferries and container ships sliding past at all hours, dolphins on good mornings. The Chinese fishing nets stand a short walk away; the hotel's own history bar names its cocktails after the characters of the spice trade.
