Port Muziris, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Kochi

3 hotels that shine the spotlight on gifted local artists - SilverKris

"Inspired by the history of early explorers who traversed India’s famous Spice Route, this property presents a sprawling art collection from artists connected to Kerala and the Malabar Coast. In the light-filled lobby a mural by Shahul Kollengode celebrates the region’s diverse flora and fauna, while the clean, minimalist rooms display framed, dream-like oceanscape illustrations by Vimal Chandran and narrative panels by Vishnu Nair that recall a fantastical story of the ancient port as told through the memories of an anonymous trader." - Levin Tan
