CJ Grande by Sterling Hotels & Resorts was born from a singular conviction: that true luxury is not about excess, but about effortless perfection. That a beautifully curated space, impeccably served, can transform a night's stay into a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Founded in 1998 by the Sterling family, our property began as a boutique retreat of 12 rooms overlooking a quiet cove. Over two decades, guided by an uncompromising design philosophy, it grew into the 47-room landmark you see today — without ever losing the intimacy and warmth of those first guests.
We are a premier business hotel in Cochin and have held a 3-star hotel rating for consecutive years, boasting a 4.3-star Google Rating from our satisfied guests.
The Sterling family opened the doors of a 12-room coastal retreat, guided by a philosophy of understated luxury and personalised care.
