Nestled amidst the vibrant culture and scenic beauty of Fort Kochi, the Seaview Hotel, formerly known as the Bristow House, stands as a testament to history and elegance. This British-style heritage property, constructed in 1927-28 under the vision of Sir Robert Bristow, is a captivating blend of colonial architecture and modern luxury. Sir Robert Bristow, a distinguished member of the Royal Society of Arts, left an indelible legacy with this iconic building, which he called home during his time in Cochin.

After India's independence, the Indian Government transformed the Bristow House into an official residence for port officials, Indian Navy, and Air Force personnel. However, by the 1980s, the property had fallen into disrepair. It wasn’t until December 2006, after being leased to Suvira Energy, that the Bristow House began its remarkable restoration journey under the guidance of Vikram Ghorpade. Today, the property has been rechristened as the Old Lighthouse Bristow Seaview Hotel, a luxurious retreat that offers a perfect blend of historical charm and contemporary amenities.
