​Ranee Sahaney’s first sojourn to Kochi presents her with a mélange of comfort and the city’s charming scape, visible from the newly opened Novotel Kochi Infopark Hotel

Beads of moisture barely settle on my brow as, in the still of the night, a tender breeze tangles with my hair and the floral arrangement on the al fresco dinner table. In the gentle candlelight glow, aromatic fragrances reach us from the delicious spread of smoky honeyed chicken, tender prawns and mysteriously sauced mushrooms at the barbecue. Our senses heighten as the stewards, laden with succulent temptations, bend over solicitously, focussed on ministering to our individual needs. Distracted periodically from these indulgences, atop the terrace of the newly launched Novotel Kochi Infopark Hotel, we have a breathtaking view of the dancing lights of the city as they fade into the distant horizon in the velvet of the night.
