Checking into the Kochi Marriott Hotel in Kerala, India
Sometimes when you just arrive at an hotel you know that it is going to be the perfect stay. The smiles from the staff, the efficient check in procedures and an overall the friendly atmosphere. Well, that is exactly how it was at Kochi Marriott Hotel and it set the tone beautifully for what would be the perfect stay.
From the moment I stepped through the door I had to take a second to appreciate the beauty of the lobby. With high ceilings, massive crisp white pillars and a gorgeous silver chandelier dripping from the ceiling, it is no doubt luxury oozes from every inch.
Come Explore The Kochi Marriott Hotel
Location & Accessibility
The Kochi Marriott Hotel is in the perfect location to stay in while in Kochi, also known as Cochin. Being in the middle of the action you never have to travel far to your desired location. It is also the perfect base for exploring further afield in Kerala such as the famous backwaters in Alleppey or the tea covered town of Munnar.
The international and domestic airport in Kochi is an easy twenty five minute drive away and the hotel can also organize a shuttle on request to make your stay stress free. If you are wishing to visit the historic area of Fort Kochi jump in a taxi for the 50 minute drive (you can use uber like I did).
Also, for all you shopaholics out there, Lulu Mall is just a few minutes walk away, though they do provide a shuttle if required. This is the largest shopping mall in Asia! It is the perfect place to find all your clothing and electronic needs!
Rooms With The Ultimate Views
Now I am a sucker for a beautiful hotel room, though combine that with amazing city views and I am in heaven! One of the key features of the Deluxe Room is the window, spanning one entire side of the room it provides uninterrupted views. Roll over, push the switch to open the curtains and watch the sunrise from the comfort of your bed.
With the most comfortable beds and plenty of pillows there is no doubt you will be having sweet dreams. The spacious room also has a desk, seating area, kitchenette and plenty of storage for your bags. With wooden features and warm tones it has a delightful welcoming vibe making it the perfect place to relax after a busy day exploring the city.
Lets not forget about the bathroom though! Carrying on the theme of the large glass windows you can push a button which will lift the shades in the shower. This creates one large space, you can even check out those most amazing city views.
The room ultimately provides the perfect relaxing space. Whether you are enjoying the air conditioning, listening to television, enjoying the views from bed or washing off the day under the rain shower, there is a feature for everyone to fall in love with.
Unforgettable Dining Experiences
I know food and I can vouch that the Kochi Marriott Hotel does it so right. With 3 individual restaurants as well as a pool bar they offer something for everyone, making your dining experiences here unforgettable.
Cassava
With an open style kitchen and serving delightful dishes from the local area, dining at Cassava is a culinary experience. Especially with the old age recipes featuring a variety of cuisine from Malabar, Travancore and Central Kerala regions. It is no doubt that this is the perfect place to warm up your taste buds.
Kochi Kitchen
This international restaurants caters for you right throughout the day. Enjoy some of your favorite meals for home or try some new specialties. With a choice of buffet or a la carte there is no doubt you will find something to keep you happy.
The Great Room
Located in the lobby The Great Room provides the perfect atmosphere to socialize over a coffee or sip on tea. Offering takeaway breakfast items, snacks, drinks and evening dining there is no doubt you will find yourself here at least once during your stay.
Pool Bar
The perfect place to relax after a long day exploring the city is the Pool Bar. Here you will find a mixture of light snacks, such as sandwiches and salads, as well as fresh juices to keep you hydrated.
Everything You Need At The Kochi Marriott Hotel
The amenities at the Kochi Marriott Hotel will make your stay as comfortable as possible. The Quan Spa is the perfect place to enjoy a massage and get some beauty treatments done. The pool provides the perfect place to cool down after a hot day exploring. They also offer plenty of fitness classes and have a dedicated gym which operates 24/7. This is ideal as it means you can have a second helping of their delicious chocolate desserts.
It is hard to beat the luxurious atmosphere which the Kochi Marriott hotel provides. Mix this with functionality thanks to all the amenities provided and you know you have the perfect place to rest your head.
