🇮🇳 Kochi, Curated: A Contemporary Stay at Artiste – A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Kochi

Tucked within the vibrant Lulu Mall campus in Edappally, Artiste - A Tribute Portfolio Hotel offers a modern, design-forward take on Kerala hospitality. During my recent Kochi visit, I chose this chic Bonvoy property for its location, aesthetic charm, and seamless elite member perks.

📍 Location, Location, Location

Strategically located in Edappally, right next to Lulu Mall Kochi, Artiste is the perfect base for shopping lovers and city explorers. The property sits within the mall complex but enjoys a peaceful, almost boutique ambiance thanks to its artistic curation and clever architectural layout.

Just a 35–40 minute drive from Cochin International Airport (COK), and well connected by metro, this is easily one of the best-located Marriott options in Kerala.

As a Marriott Bonvoy Titanium Elite, I received a generous upgrade to a spacious suite, complete with:

The staff were prompt, courteous, and well-versed in elite benefits—a refreshing touch that truly elevated the stay.

🍽️ Culinary Highlights

Dining at Artiste is a pleasure. I explored their elegant all-day dining restaurant, which embraces Kochi’s coastal heritage with global influences. Here’s what stood out:

• Kerala-inspired curries with delicate coconut gravies

• Freshly prepared appam & stew

• A well-curated buffet with continental and Indian classics

• Stylish plating and prompt service

Room service was equally commendable, offering a comforting menu with timely delivery. The food experience here blends style, spice, and substance.

🖼️ Design & Vibe

True to its name, Artiste pays homage to the arts of Kerala. Expect:

• Wall murals reflecting Kathakali and local folklore

• Sculptural elements throughout the lobby

• Soothing tones with pops of vibrant color

• A gallery-like aesthetic that doesn’t feel cold—just chic

This hotel is a photographer’s delight—modern without being sterile, and deeply rooted in place.

🛍️ Shopping at Lulu Mall

Being directly connected to Lulu Mall, one of India’s largest shopping complexes, you can walk straight from your suite into a retail wonderland. From Zara to regional silk sarees, gourmet groceries to cinemas, it’s a destination in itself.

I loved that I could pop back into my suite for a break in between splurges.
