Our Story

History comes to life in Thiruvananthapuram as another relic of the past undergoes a fabulous makeover, resurrecting the city's glorious past.

Amritha Heritage was once known as Essenden Bungalow. It was the home of the Portuguese adventurer Eunice Gomez and her husband T. Shivaramasethu Pillai. It became a part of the Amritha Hotel in the 1950s. The five-room structure has been converted into a heritage hotel embellished with regal style and colonial opulence.

The bungalow was built with a unique character incorporating elements of the colonial architecture of Thiruvithamkoor (Travancore) that is distinct from the rest of the country. The bungalow stands in the middle of a large property, with a garden around it, filled with old trees and plants.

Once home to the Portuguese adventurer Eunice Gomez and her husband T. Shivaramasethu Pillai, the bungalow joined the Amritha Hotel in the 1950s and became a virtual home for the Malayalam film world in the 1970s.

    A very BIG thank you to all the kind and accommodating staff here who made our stay so memorable including Mr. Srikanth and Ms. Sia. A special thank you to MD Mr. KrishnaPrasad and Manager Mr. Manoj who went out of their way to arrange a doctor for me as I had taken ill. I will always remember this. A home away from home.

    I used to go to this restaurant with my dad when I was little, and I always craved their chili chicken. After all these years, it still tastes just like the old, delicious chili chicken I remember. It brings back so many memories. I'll definitely be coming here more often
