Jewish Synagogue
The Jewish Synagogue at Cochin is the oldest Synagogue in the commonwealth countries. It houses some of the scrolls of the Old Testament in the original Hebrew. Built in 1568, it also preserves the grants of privilege that were bequeathed to the Jewish community by the erstwhile Kochi rulers. There are nearly two hundred exquisite hand painted blue Chinese tiles, not one of which resembles any other. The Jewish Synagogue is 9 kms from the hotel.      

Mattancherry Palace
Built in oriental style, the Mattancherry Palace was originally built by the Portuguese and presented to the king of Cochin in 1555. It was later taken over by the Dutch who improved it through extensions and repairs in 1663 AD. Since then it came to be called the Dutch Palace, though at no time did the Portugese or the Dutch stay there. One of the oldest buildings in Kerala, the Mattancherry Palace is a double-storeyed quadrangular building that is a portrait gallery of the kings of Cochin. In the centre of the building is the Coronation Hall where the Cochin Rajas held their coronations. The Mattancherry Palace is 9kms from the hotel.

St. Francis’ Church

Built in 1503 by the Portuguese, it housed the remains of Vasco Da Gama, the famous explorer who was the first European to land on the shores of India. His remains were later removed to Lisbon. The St. Francis Church is 12 kms from the hotel.
