Bringing your own decorator: Like most premium Kerala venues, The Gateway Hotel Marine Drive Kochi works with an empanelled vendor list — but outside decorators are generally permitted subject to venue approval. Panigrahana's in-house design and production team handles the entire approval and coordination process, so you get original decor designed for you instead of a catalogue package.
