As an art curator, my travels more often than not take me to destinations where history and culture meet artistry. Kochi, Kerala — offering the most promising intermingling of influences — continues to beckon me into its fold and merge artistic and cultural experiences. Among these different hotels in Kochi, Kerala, there was one, simply an epitome of the artistic soul of the city — The Postcard Mandalay Hall. More like a haven in detail, this hotel in the historic neighborhood of Mattancherry is curated to celebrate the living heritage of Kochi.
