Le Colonial

 

Tucked away, facing the waterfront and near the Church, is Le Colonial, very easy to miss behind the thick canopy of an imposing rain tree.

This colonial building has a central living room with deep cushioned sofas in luxurious fabrics, while a verandah runs along the front of the house and the swimming pool. The verandah, both downstairs and upstairs has wonderfully cozy seating arrangements to appreciate the surrounding areas full of trees and the waterfront beyond.

About Le Colonial

This new addition to the "non-hotels" managed by the Neemrana group is possibly their most luxurious one. Undoubtedly, it is India's oldest colonial house and has had a long and exciting history of ownership from the Dutch Government to being personal home of a major tea trader.

Today, the old house is one of the best remaining examples of colonial architecture with its deep verandahs and low eves. Le Colonial is a veritable living museum, with painstakingly collected colonial lithographs and paintings. The well travelled guest will recognize it as a smaller version of the Imperial in Delhi.

The rooms are regal in their appointments - wooden polished floors, high ceilings, amazing art and luxurious bathrooms in hand-polished wood and brass. Everything speaks of luxury dating from an era of late breakfasts, long siestas and decadent pampering. Spending some time at Le Colonial is to be part of an ultra select house party.

About Kochi

Kochi (or Cochin) is set on a cluster of islands and narrow peninsulas and has one of the best natural harbours in the world.

The famed `Malabar Spices' were exported from this very port, bringing to Kochi visitors as varied as the Arabs, the Dutch, the Portuguese and, finally, the British. All of them have left their mark on the architecture, making Kochi one of the most unique and fascinating towns in India.
