The palace was built in 1744 by Dutch traders [1] and later extended and gardens were landscaped around it. The building was then the Governor's palace for the commander of Dutch Malabar, and in 1909, was leased to the British. It served as the home of the British governors, being the seat of the British Resident of Kochi during the British Raj.[ citation needed ]
In 1947, when India attained independence, the palace became the property of the state and was converted into a heritage hotel resort.[ citation needed ]
Bolgatty Palace has a swimming pool, 9-hole golf course, ayurvedic centre, daily Kathakali performances, and is a holiday destination for tourists.[ citation needed ]
