About Casino Hotel
If anything, Casino Hotel is rather nondescript from the frontage. But as in many courtyard style dwellings in India, its charms become evident once you enter. The classic Kerala combination of tiled roof, wooden beams and rough plaster creates a haven of warmth and light around the grassy central space, which is divided up neatly between the Fort Cochin seafood restaurant and the pool. We believe that at the Casino, you ll find all that you need to get things done. The business districts of Ernakulam are a short taxi ride away, and you can start your business day armed with every facility.You can connect to the net right from your room and fax, copier and computer facilities are available too. The fitness club will kickstart your morning, with the latest in stairmasters, walkers and the like. In fact, if you re staying a while, you can even get yourself a health, diet and fitness routine customized by our resident instructors. The Cascade pool can be the perfect restorative. Swimsuits are available in the gift shop which is worth a visit, even if you aren t so keen on a dip. You ll find exquisite examples of traditional Keralan crafts, exotic fabrics, garments, books, handbags and all sorts of fascinating bric a brac. Another great way to relax is an ayurvedic massage. Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of medicine, and the Casino has its own resident experts and fully equipped facilities If the cocktail hour beckons you, the Vasco da Gama lounge is the hotel s ever popular watering hole. You can linger over exotic cocktails or in a new twist, sample some health drinks based on ayurvedic ideas. If you re in a mood to confer, the Durbar Hall is the place. It accommodates upto 350 people in gracious style. For smaller gatherings you can opt for the Harbour Lounge Banqueting Suite, which seats 25.
The shores of Willingdon Island hum with activity and all the hurly burly of a large port city. But the centre, where we re located, is a peaceful spot of vast grassy spaces and sleepy side roads. Here, you have the best of both worlds, because you re still a mere 15 minutes away from the city centre. The business districts of Ernakulam are a short taxi ride away,
