While the opening of the Downtown Dream Hotel in New York is, pardon the pun, still just a dream, Vikram Chatwal's VCH group seems to have managed to get their act together with another Dream hotel at least: the Dream Cochin in Kerala is now up and running.

Per Luxist, The Indian tourism ministry has apparently already awarded the Dream Cochin five stars, although the Dream gang seem to think their new hotel is even better than that; they promise it "offers a glimpse of the future of deluxe accommodations."

The future is apparently going to be blue in color, which the Dream people think will give us the feeling of floating on a cloud. Think a mix of hippy and hip, because they've also tried to plug in modern technology all over the place too.

The Dream Cochin has no shortage of luxe touches: WiFi or wired internet access, a twice-daily housekeeping service, and iPods available on request. One of the extras we'd advise them to ditch, though, are the personal weighing scales they say are included with every room — checking how much weight we've put on during our vacation is not high on our list of priorities.

There aren't any opening packages being advertised that we were able to find — in fact, their special packages webpage is sadly still "under construction" — but we've seen rates starting at $150 a night, which isn't much for blue luxury.
