Koder House is a meeting place of the past and the present. Nestling in the historic part of Fort Cochin, this is a charming three-storey boutique hotel with a distinctive red façade. The ancestral home of the Koders, a prominent Cochin Jewish family, the centuries’ old property is a tribute to the rich mixed culture of the area – a mélange of Portuguese, Dutch, Kerala and even Chinese influences. Today, it is owned and run by Amar Properties and Investments. Koder House will offer travellers an experience that is completely unique. And exclusive – because it offers just 6 super luxury suites!

The Koders were uncrowned business kings of the city for well over a century. Émigrés from Iraq a few centuries ago, they were a prominent part of the once thriving Jewish community of Cochin. Their business, Koder and Co., at its height spread as far as Palakkad in North Kerala and Thiruvananthapuram in South Kerala. The Friday Open Houses at the Red House, as it was often called, played host to ambassadors, celebrities and heads of state. Legend has it that passing ships would keep a watch for the house. Constructed on the ruins of an old Portuguese structure it is easily, the most recognizable monument in Fort Cochin. In fact, it is a protected heritage site and ranks fourth on INTACH’s list.

Suites

Travellers will feel very much like the distinguished guests who once called upon the Koders. Very special. Each of the six super luxury suites comprise a huge bedroom, sitting room and bathroom with Jacuzzi. When the house was being renovated, the present owners took especial care to retain its original character. The feel is both contemporary and classic; the atmosphere, relaxed.
