Trident, Cochin

In a tranquil spot on one of Cochin’s islands, away from the hustle of the city.
The Willingdon Island setting of this hotel means it seems far away from the business of Fort Cochin. With the plentiful facilities that you would expect from a Trident hotel, this is a great place to acclimatise before the start of your Southern India adventure. There’s a spa on site and following a treatment or two your long haul flight will feel like a distant memory. The pool is located in the charming courtyard and there’s also a fitness centre.

Travancore is the hotel’s main restaurant and it is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can enjoy both local specialities as well as traditional Italian dishes. As the name suggests, The Seafood Grill specialises in providing the freshest and most flavoursome fruits of the sea. Two bars complete the drinks and dining options – the Cochin Trader Bar and the open-air Patio.

Rooms are subtly decorated with natural tones which tend to overlook the landscaped gardens or the pool area. You can opt for a Deluxe Room or a slightly more spacious Superior Room. Alternatively, you can treat yourself to a Suite – top-floor accommodations that have a living area.
