Known as the “little crown jewel of Kumarakom,” the Taj Garden Retreat sparkles with indescribable beauty. Located next to the Vembanad lake and a bird sanctuary, the Taj Garden Retreat is 14 km from Kottayam, and is accessible by both land and water. The hotel, equipped with Internet access, can convert a guest room into a meeting area for up to 14 for conferences or cocktails.
Azure backwaters, swaying palms, and floating houseboats. These are a few of the things that inspired English Missionary Henry Baker, in the late 19th century, to acquire land on the banks of Vembanad Lake. Today, it is known as the Taj Garden Retreat, Kumarakom.
Often referred to as the little jewel of Kumarakom, it still maintains the beauty of its rustic surroundings. The 123-year-old colonial bungalow houses newly built Luxury Villas, heritage rooms and charming cottages. At this idyllic retreat, guests can look forward to practicing the art of doing nothing or keeping themselves busy with a variety of experiences, from nature to adventure, from culture to cuisine, and from rejuvenation to religion - Hotel Chain:
