A 'FORT' To Unwind

Blending history with modern comfort, Ayana Fort Kochi is a 200-year old courthouse that has been restored and renovated to its rightful glory. Appropriately named ‘Ayana’ which means a resting place in Sanskrit, Ayana Fort Kochi is located on Bazaar Road, the oldest international trading market in India. The historical court room has been painstakingly preserved, with each wooden plank restored and treated to create a grand lounge and welcome area for our guests.

The extremely large sloping roof is supported by an intricate mechanism of iron tubes that is representational of the ingenious architecture during the Portuguese occupation of Fort Kochi. The flagship property of Ayana Hospitality, this luxury boutique hotel in Kerala offers yoga classes on its rooftop, a gymnasium as well as a rooftop pool. The art deco interiors are complemented by one of the largest and finest collection of contemporary art.
