Marriott International opened the Port Muziris, a Tribute Portfolio hotel, the first ever Tribute Portfolio hotel in South Asia. The hotel marks the fifth Marriott property in Kochi located at just 300 meters away from the Cochin International Airport. Port Muziris features 54 artistically designed rooms, including three Executive Suites. The hotel offers an exciting range of dining options, each with its own unique flavours and identity.
Tribute Portfolio unites a family of over 30 independent hotels across the globe.
The name of the hotel – Port Muziris is rooted in the history of the region. Much before everything, the Greeks, Romans, Jews, Arabs, and the Chinese knew Kochi’s neighbour, the port of Muziris, as a trading hub dealing in spices such as black pepper and cardamom.
Commenting on this launch said Neeraj Govil, Area Vice President, South Asia- Marriott International, “The addition of the Tribute Portfolio in Marriott International’s brand footprint for South Asia reinforces our continued focus on providing a diverse collection of prime, distinctive properties across high potential markets in the region. Port Muziris, a Tribute Portfolio hotel is set to exemplify the brand’s vision, offering travelers a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary amenities, topped off with signature Indian hospitality. The hotel presents guests with the opportunity to spark connections and experience the taste of surrounding communities in the state of Kerala.”
“Port Muziris is going to add to the efforts to make Kerala a world-class tourism destination. I believe that it is where Kerala starts. The property’s uniqueness is visible through the soulful art spread across the property, the homely local food and the untypical rooms that bring out the vibrancy, vigor, and life of Kerala. At Twenty14 Holdings, we strive to keep our peerless hospitality growing by ensuring that each of our hotels is unique in its identity, intent, and immersion,” said Adeeb Ahamed, Managing Director of Twenty14 Holdings.
“With travel to Kochi on the rise, we are happy to introduce Port Muziris a Tribute Portfolio Hotel to the city,” said Harish Gopalakrishnan, General Manager, Port Muziris, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel. “Port Muziris has a rich history to share and is a vibrant growing community. We are confident that this new Tribute Portfolio hotel will provide a truly unique and dynamic experience to guests who are curious to discover and dig into the community”.
