This hotel was commissioned on the 18th of August 99 is a great tribute to the city of Cochin. Hotel Brunton Boat Yard was designed and built in the style and principle of the early Dutch and Portuguese architecture. The hotel gives an impression of the old portuguese architecture. It's hard to believe that the Brunton is a new building since it resembles the old colonial buildings of Cochin. The simple lime washed walls, sloping tile roof and terra-cotta floors wit the Giant "Rain Tree" completing the picture.
