The
Malabar House is unique. Housed in a heritage building right
in the historical center of Fort Cochin, it faces St. Francis
Church, the oldest European church in India. We did our best
to preserve the laid back character of The Malabar House,
incorporate a selective collection of art from the Malabar
coast and yet give you all the amenities of a small luxury
hotel. Whether you come back from a tour to the close-by backwaters
or from shopping in Jew town, you will certainly enjoy returning
to The Malabar House. Our service is very personalized, our
staff is young, eager and friendly.
Our garden restaurant, The Malabar Junction, offers fresh
seafood with a personal blend of regional and Mediterranean
Flavours. This concept extends to The Terrace Grill with its
innovative selection of Tandoori specialties prepared right
in front of you.
We offer Kalari massage, one of the oldest schools of Ayurveda
as relaxation and rejuvenation therapy.
