Heritage boutique hotel in a restored 200-year-old courtyard home in Fort Kochi

Property & History

Old Courtyard Hotel occupies a restored 200-year-old courtyard house that once belonged to Lily Koder, a prominent trader and socialite of Fort Kochi. The property retains its original colonial architecture with high ceilings, antique furnishings, and traditional details throughout. Guests can explore the hotel's historic character through its preserved layout, including the central courtyard and period wooden staircases.

Rooms

The hotel offers 10 individually styled rooms, each furnished with authentic antique pieces such as four-poster beds and Portuguese almirahs. Both Standard Double and Superior Double rooms provide air conditioning, while the Classic Suite features a spacious layout with a separate seating area. Some rooms on upper floors offer shared balcony access overlooking the garden courtyard.

Amenities

An outdoor swimming pool and hot tub are available in the courtyard, with sun loungers and umbrellas for guest use. The hotel also provides bike and car hire services, a 24-hour front desk, and daily housekeeping with laundry and dry cleaning options. Additional facilities include a garden, sun terrace, and outdoor furniture for relaxation.

Dining

The on-site café serves homemade cakes, gelato, and snacks, with a restaurant offering Indian and continental breakfast options. Guests can enjoy freshly prepared breakfasts served outdoors in the courtyard, including fresh fruit, juices, and omelettes. Filtered drinking water is available throughout the property at no extra cost.
