The
Bolgatty Island is a short but inspiring boat ride away from Kochi. The
commercial capital of Kerala is also blessed with monuments of great
historic relevance. One such monument is the Bolgatty Palace. Set amidst
lush, tropical greenery, this prestigious heritage hotel answers your
quest for a holiday of quiet enchantment. One of the oldest existing Dutch
palaces outside Holland, this quaint mansion was built way back in 1744 by
a Dutch trader. In 1909 the palace was leased to the British and it served
as their residency till 1947 when the British Raj came to an end in India.
