Courtyard by Marriott Opens 218-Key Hotel in Kochi Infopark

Kochi, May 9, 2026: Courtyard by Marriott has opened a 218-room hotel in Kakkanad within Kochi’s Infopark IT corridor, tightening its grip on one of the city’s fastest-growing commercial zones and going after both business and leisure demand.

The property, Courtyard by Marriott Kochi Infopark, is built around the city’s expanding corporate base. It leans on location, close to offices, but still within reach of Kochi’s tourism circuit.

Strategic location in Kochi’s IT corridor

The hotel sits in Kakkanad, right inside the Infopark belt, now a core business district, not a fringe one.

That puts it directly in the path of corporate travellers, project teams, and long-stay professionals moving in and out of the tech hub.

Company leadership is clear on the play: go where business travel is already thick, not where it might show up later. And Infopark fits that bill.

But it’s not just corporate.

The property also connects easily to Fort Kochi, Thrikkakara Temple and Hill Palace Museum, giving it a secondary pull for leisure traffic.

218 rooms designed for work and stay

The hotel brings in 218 rooms and suites.

Built for function first, work desks, fast internet, clean layouts.

No overdesign. Just what business travellers need to get through the day.

Some rooms overlook the business district. That’s not accidental, it reinforces the “you’re here for work” positioning.

And at this scale, the hotel can handle steady corporate volume, plus spillover from group bookings and events.

Four dining venues and lifestyle amenities

Food and beverage is spread across four outlets:

• Clove — all-day dining with global and regional mix
• All Spice — focused Indian menu
• Caper — lounge bar for informal meets
• Deli — quick-service, grab-and-go

It’s a standard full-service setup. But enough to keep guests on-site.

Beyond that, the hotel adds a rooftop infinity pool, a 24-hour gym, and a spa.

Work hotel, yes. But with just enough downtime built in.

8,000 sq ft event space targets corporate demand

Events are a big part of the revenue mix here.

The hotel offers over 8,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor space.

Meetings. Conferences. Social functions.

All under one roof.

And that matters in a business district where companies want convenience, not logistics headaches.

It’s a clear play to capture MICE demand from within the Infopark ecosystem itself.

Asset transition reflects upgrade strategy

This isn’t a fresh build story alone, it’s also an upgrade play.

The asset has been repositioned under the Courtyard by Marriott flag, with Brigade Hotel Ventures Limited backing the move.

The thinking is simple: global brand, tighter standards, better rates.

And that’s becoming a pattern across India, owners plugging into international brands to stay competitive.

With this opening, Marriott continues to push deeper into secondary business hubs.

Not chasing metros.

Locking in corridors where business is already moving.

Kochi’s Infopark is one of them. And this hotel is built to sit right in the middle of that flow.
