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 dιcor 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.
