Relive the glorious past at the Poovath Hotel, a renovated Dutch Palace from the colonial era. It stands by bewitching Arabian Sea in Fort Kochi on the south west coast of India. Pure comfort and the option to get about at your own pace and leisure to enjoy a nice holiday by the Arabian Sea is the attraction while the tasteful décor and sumptuous fare is just an addition to the hospitality.

Fort Kochi also known as ‘Queen of the Arabian Sea’ is a laid back coastal town with a colonial past. Vestiges of Portugese, Dutch, and British (in that order) colonialism lie scattered apart from the religious influences like synagogues, churches and so on. But long before them, the Arabs and the Chinese and even the Greeks traded with Kochi. So, it is aptly said to be the cultural crossroads.For those with a penchant for history, Poovath and the surroundings will have much to say. Juxtaposed to the Dutch cemetery, the hotel is a perfect place to start an inquest into past. And while at it, you can explore the natural and cultural beauty of Kerala.
