Built in 1890 to house the Malabar British Club, this slightly worn but quite charming six-room hotel has more character than most other Calicut accommodation (though the service underwhelms). Upstairs rooms come with indoor lounges, soaring ceilings, sea views and original polished-wood floors; those on the ground floor have tucked-away garden-facing terraces and tiled flooring.
On-site Salkaram turns out tasty pan-Indian cooking, while the bamboo Hut bar-restaurant is popular for beers and snacks.
