The initial Building of the hotel was built during the '70s and was designed by Ilias Papagianopoulos, a well-known architect in Greece, and it’s a great example of Greek Modernism. It was therefore a challenge to renovate such a building, that already has a strong character, and be able to bring it up to date but on the same time respect its history. We tried to maintain the modernistic character and even enrich it with extra elements that were used during that period in architecture. A wall sculpure that was made by the architect himself inside the Main restaurant was preserved. The rest of the spaces, were designed to create a calm and harmonious environment.
