Description
Chittoor Kottaram is an exclusive heritage retreat in Kochi, set along the peaceful backwaters of Chittoor. Once the royal residence of the Raja of Cochin, this beautifully preserved, approximately 300-year-old mansion offers a private and atmospheric setting for intimate weddings, engagements, anniversaries and family celebrations. Its traditional Kerala architecture, antique furnishings, tiled corridors, tranquil gardens and waterfront surroundings create a distinctive backdrop for ceremonies, photography and elegant outdoor gatherings. Unlike a conventional banquet hall, Chittoor Kottaram is designed for small, highly personalised events. The entire three-bedroom mansion can be reserved exclusively, providing privacy for the hosts, family members and selected guests. Ceremonies can be planned in the garden or against the backwater scenery, while the verandas, living spaces and dining areas are suitable for welcome gatherings, private lunches and formal dinners. Guest capacity and outdoor arrangements should be confirmed according to the chosen event layout. The venue can support customised food and beverage experiences, including traditional Kerala cuisine and carefully curated regional or international menus. Professional catering, themed décor, floral arrangements, service staff and event coordination can be organised according to the celebration. Facilities include air-conditioned accommodation, private living and dining areas, Wi-Fi, an outdoor swimming pool, gardens, a terrace, parking and personalised hospitality services. Chittoor Kottaram is approximately 10–12 kilometres from central Ernakulam and Ernakulam Junction railway station, with the journey generally taking 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Cochin International Airport is roughly 20–30 kilometres away and can usually be reached in 40–60 minutes. Nearby Kochi Metro stations can be accessed with a short onward road transfer. For weddings and evening celebrations, pre-arranged cars or guest shuttles are advisable because of the property’s quiet residential and waterfront location.
