Casino Hotel,
Willingdon Island, in the heart of the Bay of Cochin, is a British legacy,
created by Sir Robert Bristow when he dredged the seabed to secure the
city`s future as an international port. Idealy located between Mattancheaary
and the modern city of Ernakulam. The flagship of the Casino Group was
establishes an the year 1957 and last renovated in 2000. It could best
be described as a contemporary hotel with all mod cons one would expect
in a Five Star Hotel.
LOCATION : The
Hotel is located on Willingdon Island, a man-made legacy of the Raj
era and one of the reasons why Cochin ranks amongst the world's finest
harbours. As you drive to to the hotel, you pass the massive dockyards
of this ancient port, omnipresent coconut trees and stretches of glittering
Arabian Sea.
DISTANCES : Situated
on Willingdon Island, 40 Km from Cochin international airport. 06 Km
from downtown Ernakulam.
ACCOMMODATION : Tharavadu,
incidentally means traditional cottage (the 'u' is almost, but not quite,
silent. But don't worry too much! Only a home grown Keralite can bend
his tongue around the intricacies of Malayalam pronounciation.)
RESTAURANTS : The
restaurants at the Casino hotel have become institutions for Cochin's
food lovers. If you feel a need to temper the exotic with the familiar,
The 'Tharavadu' is the place to begin. It serves an extensive buffet
for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your first breakfast in Kerala could
be good ol' scrambled eggs, your lunch roast chicken and a shrimp salad,
your dinner a fiery squid curry and appams ( fluffy rounds of fermented
rice and pulses, the traditional accompaniment to Kerala meals). The
range of Indian and Continental cuisine is vast.The speciality seafood restaurant,
Fort Cochin, is our pride and joy, perpetually popular, though it is
open only in the evenings. Good Housekeeping called
Fort Cochin "one of the most renowned seafood restaurants in India".
Eating here is like diving off a springboard into the flavours and textures
of food throughout Kerala.
FACILITIES : Swimming
