Inspired by influential figures of Cretan culture, the writer Nikos Kazantzakis, the painter Doinikos Theotokopoulos (El Greco), the musician Nikos Xylouris but also the medieval poet Vicenzo Cornaro, Greco's House is a unique hotel concept.

Hotel Typology

The first stage of our Services, which includes the Research & the Typology Study, helped the Hotel Owners take their final decisions regarding the hotel's Typology (type of property, room types, grounds, etc) and its main Features and Facilities, aiming to increase the hotel's ADR as well as its sales potentials from its various departments and services.

Hotel Experiences

During the Hotel Concept Development process, we specified the main idea and the narrative of the new hotel, which will allow it to stand out from the competition. At the same time, we specified all the new hotel's experiences, services, and operation model, in order to help the architectural and design teams to capture all the requirements for its final design.

The concepts of "home", "coffee place" and "traditional celebration"
The emblematic figures and the culture of Crete

Signature Experiences

Η μοναδική εμπερία της φιλοξενείας στην "οικία" με έντονα στοιχεία αυθεντικής τοπικής παράδοσης & κουλτούρας
Οι γαστρονομικές απολαύσεις στον "καφενέ" από το πρωί ως το βράδυ
Τα διάφορα θεματικά events, με χαρακτήρα "γιορτής"

Hotel Branding & Implementation

In order to have a fuller image of the Concept, we have created an initial branding for the new hotel that captures its feel and essence, and which must be taken into account during the design process. At the same time, we presented a series of indicative applications and implementations of the branding, in order to convey in a more tangible way the feeling that will be exuded during the hotel's visual communication.
