Overlooking the harbour and waterfront on Willingdon Island, the rooms at Taj Malabar blend heritage character with contemporary luxury. Rich timber flooring, carved ceilings and dark-wood joinery evoke the colonial-maritime legacy of Cochin, while a refined palette of creams, muted blues and warm accents defines a calm, elevated ambience. Large windows open to views of the Arabian Sea and harbour activity, drawing in natural light and incorporating place into the interior experience. Modern comforts (such as stocked minibars, tea/coffee stations, and advanced in-room technology) are seamlessly integrated into the classic framework. Whether in the Tower-Wing Sea-View rooms or the Heritage Wing with its expansive windows and wood-paneled detailing, the mood remains one of timeless elegance—a tranquil retreat rooted in its locale.
