A NEW ERA OF
INNOVATIONS As a hotel group that serves the hospitality industry at large and is aware of the diverse needs of holidaymakers, we take the lead from guest feedback both offline and online. Here’s what guests can look forward to in Summer 2016 and onwards.
The right zone for everyone Adult
Teenager
Family
Wedding
Selected Louis hotels offer adults-only pools, quiet leisure areas, yoga & meditation decks, and designated adults-only seating areas in our restaurants.
Louis Nausicaa Beach, Louis Kerkyra Golf, St Elias Resort and Louis Colossos Beach are introducing a dedicated teens area and clubs.
Take advantage of hotels with familyfocused facilities, such as the family world centre, the Santelino mini club, and specially designed family rooms, kids' buffet and bars.
Many Louis hotels offer specially designed honeymoon rooms and suites, enchanting wedding venues by the sea, and attractive wedding packages.
The flavour factor To cater for food fanatics, we offer a variety of inclusive and optional terms of stay – from accommodation only in our luxury Villa collection to the new Ultra All-Inclusive packages, which also include a number of VIP services. Apart from the regular rotation of buffet meals and theme nights, and the emphasis on local produce, selected hotels have introduced additional à la carte speciality restaurants for even greater variety and the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing meal with waiter service.
COMPLETE MAKEOVERS Four members of Louis Hotels are preparing for a major makeover! The St Elias Resort in Protaras, Cyprus, will reopen its doors in May 2016 as a completely redesigned 4-star plus resort. In Protaras, the Louis Nausicaa Beach will be redesigned to meet the specifications of a TUI Family Life resort, and the newly launched The King Jason Protaras is destined to be a favourite retreat for adults. In Rhodes, a new era is dawning for the popular Colossos Beach Hotel, as the most extensive all-inclusive resort in Greece.
