Bolghatty Palace
A Scenic island near the city of Ernakulam,
 Bolghatty
is famous for the Bolghatty Palace built by the Dutch in
1744 AD. This palace, once the residence of the British
resident of Kochi, is now a KTDC (Kerala Tourism Development
Corporation) hotel.
Bolghatty Palace is on an island, off Cochin in the Arabian
Sea. The building was once a Governor's palace for the Dutch
and later the home of the British Governors.
The palace is two-storeyed and contains well-decorated bed
chambers, a huge lounge wherein historical portraits are
displayed. The ferry ride from the mainland Ernakulam to the
island is a pleasurable experience. There is a golf course
to boot.
