David Hall is a Dutch bungalow built around 1695 by the Dutch East India Company, located on the north side of Parade Ground in Fort Kochi. It is believed that during the Dutch occupation it was used to accommodate military personnel.
It was the residence of the renowned Dutch governor, Hendrick Adrian Van Rheede tot Drakestein. However, the building gets its name from a later occupant, a Jewish businessman called David Koder. Since 2007 the building has been leased by CNO India to CGH Earth, an ecologically conscious hotel group.
The typical Dutch architecture is visible on all elements. The three-foot wide walls and the four-column windows are some of the characteristics of the building.
David Hall is closed on Monday.
