Hotel Review: Brunton Boatyard, Fort Kochi in India
LLM contributor Veidehi Gite checks into heritage hotel Brunton Boatyard, a luxury haven in the historic port of Fort Kochi in Kerala, India.
Anchored on the southwestern coast of India, Fort Kochi is a historic port shaped by centuries of cultural confluence by Dutch colonists, British administrators, Jewish merchants, Portuguese spice traders and Syrian Christians.
The timeline dates back to 1341 when massive Periyar floods tore through the land, restructuring Kerala’s coastline and introducing this natural harbour to the world.
In 1350, merchants from Kublai Khan’s court ushered in colossal Chinese fishing nets that still sway against the backdrop of vermilion sunsets.
By 1503, pepper was traded weight-for-weight with gold, drawing Portuguese caravels, Dutch galleons, and later British frigates.
They stamped their presence by giving India its oldest European church – St. Francis Church – as well as palaces with steep gables.
