This one is, unarguably, Asia’s oldest hotel. A stay in this heritage property is more of a museum-like experience for the guest list has names as big as Vasco da Gama! A 16th century heritage property in Fort Kochi, it has seven luxurious rooms with alluring names such as Tipu Sultan, Major Petrie, Viceroy and more. Poster beds, teak and satin-wood furniture, attached balconies, centuries old paintings and an ambience that is more like walking into the pages of a history book, makes Le Colonial an ideal stay for those searching for an experience rather than a regular hotel.
