From being a trading centre of rich and colourful history to a swiftly developing Metro, the port city of Cochin has very well updated its status. Then the backwaters and the port were the only trade links to the city, Fort Cochin was just a water bound fishing village and Mattancherry the nerve-centre of the colonial era. But today these are the most-sought after destinations in the International tourism map and Cochin the most promising urban hotspot. Witnessing this timeless evolution, here stands Hotel Seashell- the place where sophistication meets eternal legacy.
It was in the year 1948, just after the country tasted its independence for the first time, Hotel Seashell opened in one among the first skyscrapers to come up in Cochin. Today, it is defined by its modern style with touches of awe-inspiring heritage and hospitality, while maintaining many of the original features of traditional Kerala architecture and craftsmanship. It is very conveniently located in the commercial, business hub of Cochin at Penta Menaka opposite Marine Drive, to provide an easy access to the transit points- whether it be waterways, roadways, railways or airways- of the city. The iconic mid-century modern design of the time period it came up influenced the traveller’s experience then, and it deeply influences us even now. Hence the hotel has been conceptualized featuring the roots, culture and heritage of the God’s own Country.
