Kochi Cochin
Welcome to this Beautiful Heritage Hotel in Kochi Come, step into yesteryear, into a world gracefully tucked in the glories of the past, brimming with regal heritage and plush luxury, and as far away from the present as possible!
Forte Kochi shines like a pearl among the hotels in Fort Kochi - one of the oldest cosmopolitan port cities in the world.
A town so strategically placed that many a battle had been fought and many a ship burnt to lay claim to its generous shores.
Fort Kochi has welcomed weary travelers for centuries from Arab and Chinese traders to Jews seeking shelter and new lives. The town has witnessed many a conquest and has been colonised by the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British in succession.
Its tree hemmed streets, sun-kissed shores and tall ancient edifices still bear remnants of past eras. And in one such imposing yet unassuming structure is Forte Kochi. Originally built by the Portuguese, the mansion presents a medley of Portuguese, Dutch and British influences and was converted to a magnificent home in the late 1800s. This ancient structure was once part of the palatial home of an eminent Jew family. Now restored to its past glory, this boutique hotel enchants its visitors with glimpses of life once known and lived, centuries ago.
Step into one of the best Heritage Hotels in India and step into an age so far away. be found in Kochi-Cochin.

Stunning property, and the staff are so very friendly!
this hotel is perfect, it is beautiful and very clean. The staff are amazing. The only downside is that you may not want to ever leave the beds at this hotel, they are the best I have EVER slept in, so comfortable!!

Little Gem - Amazing Staff - Very Attentive
A little gem of a hotel. Staff were really attentive to us, always remembered us and our room number so we felt special. Rooms were spacious, exceptionally clean and had everything you needed. Room service was brilliant and you were never charged extra for anything you wanted in your room. Location wise it's in the centre of fort kochi so you can walk to the fishings nets, market and various shops within minutes. Food was amazing, we had all our meals there as it was so good. Fish platter is brilliant and you only need to order one for two (we nearly ordered one each!) Breakfast has a huge variety of items and you can order direct from the kitchen waffles, pancakes or french toast - there will be something for everyone, including traditional indian breakfast to try. Pool was a little small, but beautifully cleaned each morning and lovely and cool in the hot sun. Bar staff were excellent and their wine is ok. Everyone in the hotel were brilliant and could not do enough for you, we were leaving at 5am, and the night before we got a call asking if we would like a pack out of fruits/pastries with hot coffee..... which was ready for us at reception.
Living History Right in the Heart of Fort Kochi!
Right where the action is! Forte Kochi is perfectly located on Princess Street - just steps away from everything - the Chinese fishing nets, cafes, galleries and the whole Fort Kochi vibe.  The hotel itself is a living, breathing piece of history. Once a part of a palatial Jewish home built in the 1860s, with that iconic lemon yellow facade and gothic stained-glass windows, it's just stunning. That yellow made our day - every corner felt like a photoshoot, we couldn't stop taking pictures!  Food was killer and the staff was so courteous and warm. A boutique heritage stay that perfectly blends old-world charm with modern luxury. Loved our stay here - highly recommended!
