Curation of the Best Luxury 
Resorts in India and the World
In December 2018, a group of 
luxury hoteliers launched The 
Postcard Hotel – a brand of unique, 
intimate luxury hotels in India and 
the world. The vision for The 
Postcard revolved around curating 
the 
best luxury resorts in India and the 
world with innovation, nimble 
thinking, and positive disruption.
The hospitality landscape has five broad categories: the first comprises basic 
lodgings; second, a product with good, comfortable rooms but lacking service; third, 
existing luxury hotel brands; and fourth, experiential providers such as Airbnb that 
aim to get people to live like locals. I saw The Postcard Hotel as a fifth, 
amalgamation of distinctive hotels in premium locations offering both experiential 
travel and exceptional service. I saw this as a transformational luxury offering the 
best luxury resorts in India and the world.
The Postcard Hotel is aimed at the leisure-seeking audience and is found in 
destinations by the sea, the mountains, or jungles rich in wildlife. Transformative 
experiences and local community are at the heart of The Postcard Hotel’s offering. 
Each hotel offers unique experiences that are true to their surroundings, giving 
guests a sense of the neighborhood and the destination in a way never seen before. 
The experience within the hotel rooms in Kochi, Gir, Maravanthe Beach, Goa, 
Bhutan, and Sri Lanka is in keeping with the times of conventional luxury hotels. 
This means no set breakfast hours, no buffets, and definitely no sugary welcome 
drinks. In its place are well-researched authentic local experiences, from food, to 
design, to artisanal welcome cocktails, to defining your own check-in and check-out 
hours and immersions with the local community.
The Postcard Mandalay Hall: Art, 
Culture and Unsaid Stories
Mirroring the energy and heritage of Kochi, recently awarded India’s Leading Design 
Hotel at the World Travel Awards 2022, The Postcard Mandalay Hall is an urban oasis 
located in Mattancherry, a complex of elegantly preserved buildings, over 200 years 
old. The luxury resort anchors this stylish mixed-use cultural destination, occupying 
one of the area’s few remaining historical landmarks designed by Tony Joseph with 
hotel rooms in Kochi by distinct, renowned designers, bringing an artistic experience 
to you. 
Each hotel room in Kochi’s The Postcard Mandalay Hall is designed by distinct artists 
that add story and character to the room. These rooms are living galleries that give 
perspective to the audience, what’s best? You are probably living in a gallery curated 
by one of the best artists in the country. 
Gallery 1: 
It’s difficult to disagree with the remarkable aspects 
of this hotel room in Kochi, which examines the idea 
that heaven has always coexisted with earthly 
realities. This spacious room has a view of 
Synagogue Lane’s historic neighborhood and is 
furnished subtly. A study is also available beside the 
window for those times when inspiration strikes. 
Which, given current circumstances, probably will.
Gallery 2: 
The spacious and exquisitely proportioned hotel 
room in Kochi, Gallery 2 retains its modernist ethos 
with its wonderfully aged, high walls, which provide 
a place for rest and thought. Anju Acharya, a wall 
artist whose works explore conception, is also 
thinking about it. You might even feel reborn when 
you check out of the hotel, so it’s only fitting.
Gallery 3:
The Postcard Mandalay Hall’s hotel room in Kochi, 
Gallery 3 looks out into the bright and green 
courtyard. A cozy, comfortable space that weirdly 
enough exhibits artist Dibin Thilakan’s “Ode to 
Home,” a collection of multi-media pieces that 
examine the concept of home. You’ll feel right at 
home in this room, which has twin beds and even a 
bathtub.
Gallery 4:
This hotel room in Kochi is a double room, ideal for 
individuals seeking total seclusion and the peace 
that comes with it. It has a separate courtyard and 
additional room that the artist Jigesh Kumar deemed 
appropriate to accommodate ideas for an 
archaeological museum. It truly is a world in itself.
Gallery 5:
A stunning double room that is definitely 
modern, Gallery 5 is tucked away on the first 
level of the hotel. The room, and especially the 
bathroom, are sumptuous without being 
excessive thanks to their clean lines and superb 
use of materials within. A picture window 
overlooks the beautiful, green courtyard. The 
walls of this hotel room in Kochi are covered in 
works of art created by artist Guiseppe 
Stampone using blue and black BIC pens.
Experiences of 
One of the Best 
Luxury Resorts in 
India: the 
Postcard 
Mandalay Hall, 
Kochi
Heritage Walk: 
Rich in history, the heritage tour with its local guide lets you glimpse the Dutch, 
Portuguese, British, and Jewish influences that make the city unique. The cultural 
expedition uncovers hidden facets of the quaint city.
A Tranquil Escape: 
Take a break from the bustling metropolitan areas of the city and hop on board to 
admire the panoramic seaside views of Fort Kochi, Bolgatty Island, Willingdon 
Island, the Kochi shipyard, and the impressive Chinese fishing nets. Venture into a 
journey filled with mesmerizing sunsets, sublime sea air, and, if you are lucky, 
probably a dolphin or two.
Savoring the 
Experimental Flavors:
Indulge in the rich culinary offerings at the hotel’s restaurant- അ, or Aah. 
Specializing in contemporary Kerala cuisine, the restaurant brings global 
ideas to local flavors- a rare idea, expertly executed.
The Postcard Hotel has truly brought some of the best luxury resorts in India 
and across other countries. Each of their hotel rooms in Kochi, Goa, 
Maravanthe Beach, Bhutan, Galle, and Gir bring warmth and goodness to 
their guests, with of course, unique experiences and transformational luxury. 
The collection of intimate luxury hospices hidden in vacation destinations 
across India and the world. Their hospices recall a period when leaves were 
sun-kissed and still, where the days were spent footing and flipping through 
old magazines against the background of fascinating, quiet neighborhoods. 
In that spirit, The Postcard Hotel combines luxury with simplicity, giving a 
retreat to a life you’ve always wanted- simple, unhurried, and filled with rich, 
little discoveries.
