A hotel and convention venue in Kaloor, minutes from MG Road and the railway stations — the heart of Ernakulam, and easy to reach from the airport or metro.

Expect pleasant post-monsoon weather — around 24–31°C with the occasional evening shower. Light cottons work best; carry an umbrella just in case.
Getting there
