KODER HOUSE is a three-storeyed heritage boutique hotel opposite the beach at Fort Kochi , Kerala , India . Until recently, it belonged to the most illustrious Cochin Jewish family, the Koders. This House had been a host to Presidents, Prime Ministers, Viceroys, Ambassadors and prominent dignitaries. This dwelling also finds a prominent place on INTACH's list of heritage sites, and a visit to Fort Kochi is considered to be incomplete without a visit to this historic monument.

Restaurant
The restaurant is named Menorah in tribute to the heritage of its original owners, the Koders. It serves predominantly continental and Indian cuisine, with an emphasis on Kerala Seafood – the beach, after all is just a short walk away. The menu is extremely select and revised regularly.
Plunge Pool
The restaurant overlooks the plunge pool in the courtyard. The two heritage doors set in the far wall add to the ambience here. As dusk falls, the lights come on and you are plunged into a different atmosphere.
Hanging Bridge
How would you like to walk over a street and into the house opposite? You can! Well almost. The hanging bridge leads off the second floor into the building opposite, supposedly Samuel Koder’s office. The entrance into the other building has been walled off, but you can still stand on the bridge and relive the feeling!
Serena Spa
Koder House is one of the few hotels in India to offer the wellness therapies and treatments offered by the international Spa organizations, Serena Spa.
Other Services
You will have access to the best technology has to offer. Including electronic safe, internet data port and cable TV in each room, foreign exchange, doctor-on-call and laundry. Plus, hands on service that is both discreet but efficient.

Travellers will feel very much like the distinguished guests who once called upon the Koders. Very special. 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. The suites are on either side of the three storey structure. |

Deluxe Suite
The deluxe suites offer a large bedroom, a state-of-the art bathroom and a sitting room, all done up luxuriously. The heritage theme is carefully maintained in the draperies, furnishings and all the accessories. All suites overlook the park leading to the beach. There are twin-bed and double-bed options.
Junior Suite
The Junior Suite is on the right hand side as you enter Koder House. It is slightly smaller than the Deluxe suites, but also offers an extremely luxurious bedroom, living room and bathroom. The bedroom, like in the other suites has an inviting four poster bed, with a ultra-thick mattress and exquisite silk throw. |
