Mykonos - GREECE

The hotel that got renovated is a stylish boutique hotel located in Mykonos which has been operating since 1986. It is built in a field of 6000 sq.meters with west orientation and panoramic views of the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. With focus on the special character of the hotel, which consists of 6 different buildings, the renovation of some rooms as well as some common areas including the reception and the restaurant located in the pool area were completed.

The aim of the study was to upgrade the rooms, create privacy and integrate aquatic elements into them. Natural materials such as wood, plaster, natural stone and cement floors were used in earthy colors that were combined with ropes. White colors dominate, however, small, colored gray and black details were used as well. The purpose of the design was to preserve the traditional Mykonian architecture enriched with modern and industrial design in details such as in showers wherever possible they were incorporated into the rooms from where, the visitor can have unobstructed views of the sea.

Private pools or outdoor heated Jacuzzis have been added to the rooms, which are oriented towards the sea. Where this was not feasible, private gardens have been created that once again incorporated some form of aquatic element and were enriched with Mediterranean plants such as olives, rosemary, lavender, reeds, cacti and prickly pear trees.

In Camera Art Boutique Hotel

Rhodes - GREECE

In Camera Art Boutique Hotel - travel through time overlooking the old town of Rhodes

A hotel inspired by the past and designed for the future, with its respect to both culture and environment. Located in the heart of the historical Medieval Town of Rhodes, the hotel’s interior design is a fusion of the traditional Greek houses, with the comforts of modern design. Nikos Kasseris (the hotel owner) was born in 1951 at Dimylia, Rhodes. He studied Economics, while developing his interest in photography as an amateur in the early 70’s. He turned professional in 1980 after quitting his position in the Bank of Greece. Nikos Kasseris’ vision was to find a way to blend the art of photography with his love for his homeland and especially this special part of Rhodes, the Medieval Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Monument. In addition, he wanted to have a place where he could organize exhibitions, photography workshops and seminars under not only himself but many more established photographers. This spark ignited the idea of a small hotel which would blend art, culture, history and offer people the chance to lively experience all those together.

In the hotel, there are several cameras exhibited. They are not just a personal collection, but the actual tools of Nikos Kasseris’ work through the decades. So you will see leading cameras of the 70’s (Linhoff, Canon), the 80’s (Hasselblad, Sinar), the 90’s (Fuji, Rolleiflex, Leica) and the early 00’s (Noblex) along with their lenses and all their accessories, exhibited in the hotel’s suites. All the photographs decorating the hotel are products of Nikos Kasseris’ artistic view through those very cameras.

The outcome is a place based on the vision of an artist, a perfectionist, a person who values hospitality as much as the Greek term “philoxenia” dictates.
