The river retreat Thrissur is one of the most famous resorts of Kerala, being the erstwhile summer palace of the Maharajahs of Cochin and situated on the banks of Bharathapuzha.
The architecture of the hotel reminds you of a bygone era in the great architectural history of Kerala. The elegant design of the hotel blends with its surroundings seamlessly. The garden and the river are classic Kerala in its purest form. The front porch of the hotel leads you straight to the river from where the Maharaja boarded his royal boat. Traditional furniture has modern day comforts incorporated.
The huge lobby with its treasure chest in the middle from the days of the Maharaja and the Nilavilakku all add to the grandeur of the Palace. The River Retreat, the unique summer palace of the erstwhile Maharaja of Cochin, rejuvenated about five years ago, is a Three-Star resort incorporating the ambience of yesteryear with modern facilities.
The Kerala Kalamandalam Arts Academy - the famed institute of performing Arts is close by. Location: Two hours' drive from Cochin, Calicut, and Coimbatore Airports and five minutes from Shoranur Jn. Railway Station.
