From the GM's desk: why we publish here

From the GM's desk: why we publish here

This blog is for guests—not algorithms. A note on what you will (and will not) find on the GM's desk.

  • Published 20 Apr 2026

We added this blog because guests ask the same thoughtful questions by WhatsApp, at check-in, and in reviews: How early should I leave for CCJ? Is late checkout realistic on Sundays? What do locals actually eat nearby?

You will find short, practical notes here—written by people who work the desk, not an agency calendar. We will not chase trends or publish filler twice a week. When something is worth saying, we will say it plainly.

If a topic would help you before your stay, tell the front desk. The best posts start as real conversations.

About the author

Arijit Biswas - General Manager (2024 - Present)

Arijit Biswas

General Manager (2024 - Present)

Arijit has spent over twenty years in hospitality across India, Dubai, and the hill resorts of Kerala, giving him an unusually broad understanding of how travelers encounter new places. Originally from Kolkata, he arrived in Kozhikode in 2024 before Kowju had opened its doors, when the hotel was still dust, cement, and scaffolding, and was part of everything that came after. That history gives him a connection to this property and this city that goes deeper than most.
