It is within this picturesque scenery of classic grandeur on the lake Vembanad that we spotted an opportunity for a new, ultra-modern private luxury resort – and the Grand Cinnamon was born. The 120-room waterside luxury resort was developed for a private client in Cochin. The approach was to blend the resort into the landscape, taking design cues from contemporary architecture and inspirations in nature. It wants for nothing in comparison, in terms of style and natural beauty. The vision was to build a contemporary sustainable property with a series of rooms that subtly float like a cloud over the grand lake, fashioning each room to have its own view of the lake and surroundings.
