Koder House, Fort Kochi

KODER HOUSE is a three-storeyed heritage boutique hotel opposite the beach at Fort Kochi. The house is a landmark for visitors to Cochin. One can have a gracing scenery of the St. Francis Church and the Chinese fishing nets. This magnificent structure is a fine example of transition from colonial to Indo-European Architecture. It was built in 1808 by Samuel Koder of the Cochin Electric Company and is noted for its beautiful facade and fine wood-work. A visit to Fort Kochi is considered to be incomplete without a visit to this historic site. This building belonged to the most illustrious Cochin Jewish family, the Koders.Now it is KODER HOUSE Heritage boutique hotel at Fort Kochi!
