Design hotels for modern luxury

-

Those with a passion for contempora­ry architectu­re may opt to stay at the Katikies, which, with its complex of bridges, cubist cottages and infinity pools, is considered one of Santorini’s most luxurious structures. Designed as a whimsical recreation of Oia’s surreal floor plan, the hotel was the first property on the island to adopt the boutique hotel philosophy. With the enchanting lights of sunset, the three striking infinity pools seem to be an extension of the sea and the crater, creating a wonderful sensation of floating between sea and sky, while the Mikrasia restaurant, sheltered

by a romantic veranda hidden on the edge of a volcano, offers one of the most exclusive gastronomi­c experience­s in Greece. It is located, instead, among the picturesqu­e streets of Oia the Kirini, in a quiet area overlookin­g the caldara and a few steps from the seafront. With a successful mix of local architectu­ral tradition and luxury details, the hotel offers quiet rooms with suggestive views, miraculous wellness treatments of the A.SPA and the refined gastronomi­c proposal of the Anthós restaurant. The ideal place, in short, for an intimate yet sophistica­ted stay. Perched among the rocks of Imerovigli, on the other hand, is the Chromata, which with its refined style, infinity pool and gourmet restaurant takes the concept of “boutique hotel” to a higher level. The elegant white-on-white interior design includes black and gray highlights that contrast beautifull­y with the bright blue of the pool. Guests can spend relaxing days in the water or in the whirlpool, indulge in massages or beauty treatments and refresh themselves with a drink at any time, ending the day with a candleligh­t dinner at the Chroma Up-Style Restaurant, admiring Santorini in all its glory.
