Eighth Bastion

Mer

Perfect for an an elegantly curated fusion of styles, tastes and ideas. At once a celebration of Fort Cochin’s Dutch heritage and its vibrant contemporary culltural pulse.When it was finished, we called the outcome Eighth Bastion. The Eighth Bastion’s face is open, contemporary, even post-modern. The architecture combines clean cubic lines with chic, retro touches such as the railings and roof tiles. Note the VOC-branded furniture scattered about, exact replicas of the chairs once found on Dutch Schooners. The hotel provides 19 spacious rooms for a comfortable stay. Most of our rooms open on to airy patios or balconies. Just the spot to enjoy a morning tea, an afternoon nap or just to get a double-barelled lungful of the fine tropical sea breezes of the Malabar.
