A Victorian shipyard converted into a modern hotel, what less can one expect of the Brunton Boatyard other than history and contemporariness both being served on a platter? Located in the near vicinity of the Kochi harbour, the history of Brunton Boatyard goes back to over a century when Cochin was a crossroad inviting the English, the French and also the Dutch merchants and traders. Brunton Boatyard still endeavours to hold forth the legacies, the spirits and the peculiar characteristics of all those eras in front of the modern day visitors. The Indo- Portuguese architectural patterns and the local cultural heritage of the place make up for an eclectic blend that guests like to feast on, all the more.
