The Malabar House is a documented part of Fort Cochin’s historical fabric.  Its history dates back to 1755, when Jan Herman Clausing, a Dutch, bought the property from Mathew Henrich Beyls.
Subsequently owned by spice traders, tea traders & bankers, in 1997 it became Fort Cochin’s first boutique heritage hotel.  Malabar House is a fascinating and  sophisticated art-focussed hotel, situated on a peaceful green in Fort Cochin. An inspired mixture of local furniture and antiques, combined with contemporary designs and stunning, vibrant colour schemes, is all housed within a pretty, old, colonial mansion which has been lovingly restored and is now, unquestionably, the finest small hotel in Cochin.  Each of the 17 bedrooms is a haven of tranquillity amidst a bustling harbour city which showcare antique and contemporary objects d’art. The cuisine is second to none – combining South Indian and Mediterranean ingredients and fresh seafood, whilst the wine list has some superb international brands. It is ideally situated for wandering out to see the Chinese fishing nets or for taking gentle strolls up to Mattancherry and its famous antique market.
