Poovath - Fort Cochin
Fort Cochin is an entrancing place, filled with historical monuments, heritage structures, beach cafes and modern buildings. What sets it apart in the tourism sector is its ability to charm all kinds of tourists. At Poovath Hotel, you will experience that all are welcome. It is a renovated Dutch Palace that stands by the Fort Cochin Beach.
Fort Cochin has been an active witness to the influence of the Dutch, Portuguese and English invasions. The hotel, too, has its share of history to reveal. It is adjacent to the Dutch Cemetery, which is currently owned by the Church of South India. The Dutch have had a huge impact on coastal Kerala. They captured Kochi from the Portuguese in 1663. They destroyed the catholic Portuguese’s churches, and built their own. The Mattanchery Dutch Palace, the Bolghatty Palace and several Dutch bungalows and churches still continue to mesmerise the tourists as well as the locals..
The Poovath Hotel offers eight deluxe rooms and two master suites. They are roomy and well-appointed. There’s a ice swimming pool, where you can spend a cool evening. Poovath’s restaurant serves North Indian, South Indian, Thai, Continental, Italian, and Chinese cuisines.
In the evenings guests can relax on the lawn. Sometimes there are art and cultural performances for the tourists. The travel desk at the hotel will take care of any travel requirements of the guests. The hotel also has sufficient parking space and a doctor-on-call.
There are many things to do in Fort Cochin – from visiting monuments and museums to learning how to operate a Chinese fishing net and going on sunset cruises. Your stay at Poovath will be peppered with a lot of good memories.
