The Postcard Mandalay Hall

Immerse yourself in this living piece of art
The courtyard lit up at night at The Postcard Mandalay Hall, India

Captivating exhibition spaces complemented by first-class service

Tucked away in the timeless streets of Mattancherry, a historic ward of Kochi, Kerala, The Postcard Mandalay Hall, a 200-year old, carefully restored masterpiece, stands testament to the civilisations that have come and gone in its stead. Its address on the hallowed Synagogue Lane offers an alluring window to the past, with the 1500s-era Paradesi synagogue right outside, and the artfully crafted interiors tell an equally intriguing story.

Aptly named ‘galleries’, each of the five rooms, three of which come with bathtubs, is an immersive exhibition. Each showcases artwork and installations by different artists for a one-of-a-kind experience that builds deep connection with the space. Its boutique size allows for a laid back atmosphere, with rarely encountered luxuries such as anytime check-in/check-out and anytime breakfast, along with a truly personalised service.

The experience continues at അ (Aah), the hotel’s fine dining restaurant which specialises in contemporary Kerala dishes and an experimental cuisine which blends global ideas with local flavours. Beyond the hotel walls, let inspiration strike in markets, boutiques and cafes of Mattancherry and Fort Kochi. The city is just a 10-minute drive away, and the creative local spirit here runs deep. Art is integral to this destination, and creatives and art-lovers alike are perfectly positioned to enjoy the Kochi-Muziris Biennale; the biggest contemporary art festival in Asia, which takes place in the city.

Brijrama Palace
Set on the banks of the holy River Ganges on one of Varanasi’s 87 ghats is Brijrama Palace, an opulent hotel that is perfect for those that want to be close to the heart and soul of this deeply spiritual city. Built in the 18th century by the Royal House of Nagpur, the palace has been lovingly restored. Murals, hand-painted ceilings and beautiful carvings revealed during the restoration have brought it back to life, ensuring the building is in keeping with this most
