At a Glance

In the heart of Fort Cochin’s spice trading district, Mattanchery, we have respectfully restored this historic waterfront merchant’s property. Our guest rooms and suites pay tribute to the history of the location and India’s contemporary aesthetic.

The waterfront restaurant, likewise, looks at the multi-cultural influences on the Malabar foodways, updated for modern tastes. There is no better location from which to explore historic Fort Cochin.

Built between the lodging and the restaurant spaces, the swimming pool faces the harbour and comes with outdoor seating. Watch fishermen dock their antique-yet-productive boats on both sides of our property, and welcome the occasional visitor after the day’s catch. Also, all public areas at Xandari Harbour have spaces earmarked for Indian artists to display and sell their artwork.

16 guest rooms offer an intimate experience of the location. The suite facing Cochin Harbour is unrivalled in Kerala. Another suite offers the quintessential view of Bazar Road, from an elevated perspective, as well as views of the harbour. Four waterfront rooms offer spectacular views across the harbour, two with extended patio to the water’s edge.

Among the other 10 rooms, four at ground level have private gardens and those on the first floor have large picture windows with diagonal views to the harbour and three with views onto Bazar Road. All rooms pay tribute to Kerala’s spice-trading history as well as India’s contemporary aesthetic.
