No.18 Hotel (Kochi) | restaurant, building, interesting place

 hotel, restaurant, building, interesting place

This architectural charm with its stone pathways, traditionally inclined terracotta roofs and its colonial bungalow outline stands much alone and unmatched by the Heritage Zone junction. Much alone and very much like the ancient and mighty rain tree which has spread its canopy over No.18 as though gesturing a secret sign of eminence toward this truly special place.

One receives a smashing dose of colonial fragrance as early as the lobby entry itself with No. 18’s large wall paintings, high ceilings and carefully attended historical mouldings. This fragrance lingers down its furthest corridor to its very last room. Everything including its granite and wooden floors to its overall colour palate are reminiscent of the classic Kochi colonial times and stylistically convey the historical period intended of the hotel. One can rightly say that No.18 is the most sophisticated setting at Fort Kochi for leisure and business alike; all mesmerising by its Old World looks blended with modern day technologies.

In spite of its many generously revealing windows, it is not hard to suspect that this quiet sanctuary has a lot more to offer than it seems.
