Located in the heart of Kochi, in Ernakulam, The International Hotel offers travellers of all kinds a perfect place to rest their weary head. In the growing city of Kochi, finding a space with peace and quiet is a luxury. That’s why, despite being off MG road, Kochi’s heart and soul, The International Hotel is surprisingly spacious and beautifully laid out. As soon as you enter the lavish parking lot, the humdrum from the street seems to be reduced and once you walk through the gold-trimmed doors and into the carpeted reception hall and lobby, one can hear a pin drop, it’s so quiet. Featuring air-conditioned, spacious rooms on four different floors, you’re spoilt for choice when you make a reservation. The best part of International Hotel is that its rooms come in a variety of prices allowing those on a budget to get a luxurious night while ensuring business, group and family travellers can splurge if they choose to.
