Accommodation at Hotel Kumarakom Lake
Resort :
They are straight out of a fairy tale. Cute cottages blending old-world
charm with befitting modern amenities. The intricately carved wooden walls
and the roof within the cottage are of hand polished wooden panels. The
front door is a sight to behold, banded with handcrafted grass locks of
brass. All furniture are original antiques.
Even the light switches and shades reflect an age when time moved at a
leisurely pace. Paintings by renowned artists adorn the walls. They depict
scenes from Hindu epics and are in the temple mural style. Each cottage has
a private courtyard and a sunken bath set in a small open-air garden. Just
imagine bathing under a moonlit sky or in the rain! And that too in complete
privacy.
The traditional windows have sills where you can comfortably sit and gaze
out across the lotus canals slicing the front yard. You have a choice of 52
cottages consisting of Standard Heritage Villas and Superior Heritage Villas

Dining :
'Ettukettu' (8-sided) restaurant.
Holding court regally is the Ettukettu. A multi cuisine 115 seater
Specialty Restaurant (A/c and non A/c). It occupies, aptly, a pride of place
in the centre of the complex. And lining one corner of the Ettukettu is the
well appointed bar.
Stroll leisurely down the verdant lawns to this magnificent traditional
structure which formerly housed a noble family. Park yourself and choose
from a choice ranging from Continental, Chinese, Muglai, North Indian or
Traditional Kerala cooking. Of course, we proudly recommend you choose the
latter. And rest assured, Kerala cooking is not as hot as its counterparts
from neighboring states. Kerala curries usually have very little chillies
and is mostly flavored with ginger, cardamom, garlic, cinnamon etc.
At the Ettukettu Restaurant, stress is on ethnic Kerala cooking. Specialty
served here include Syrian Christian Duck Roast, Duck Curry, Karimeen
Pollichuthu, Karimeen Mappas, soft spongy rice bread called Appams,
Thamarappam speciality, Iddiappams (string hoppers).
Try out "Karimeen Pollichatu" the banana leaf-wrapped Pearl Spot
Fish lavishly marinated in speciall spice mix and grilled. Kerala style
curries, be it of vegetable, meat or fish, are usually generously creamed
with coconut milk and often spiked with tamarind, raw mangoes or jaggery.
The first choice for breakfast dish is the "Puttu" (rice flour
dough layered with grated coconut and steamed in hollow bamboo cylinders)
eaten with spicy curry made of chickpeas.
Once a week, the restaurant has a cook-out where one special item is cooked
right in front of the guests.
Coffee shop Anytime you feel like a nibble, make thee to the coffee shop.
Hot packoras, samosas, dosas and hot steaming coffee, your favorite soft
drink or a variety of ice-creams.
Outdoor barbecue How about a barbecue, in a golden sunset, under starry
skies, under swaying palms on a moonlit night? Right beside the pool to the
side of the Arts Centre (where the cultural performances are staged). Enjoy
tasty Kebabs while you watch Gods take centre stage. Or the performance of a
live band.
‘Ettukettu’ (8-sided) restaurant - a traditional Kerala mansion,
once home to the most prominent family in the community, today it serves up
a host of mouthwatering Indian, Chinese or Continental delicacies.
