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.
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.
Name Description
The name of the hotel has been chosen for its dual meaning, combining the island's rich mining history with a deeply personal experience for the guest. On one hand, the name is inspired by Sifnos' deep history of metallurgy and the numerous mines on the island, while simultaneously highlighting the unique view of the accommodation overlooking an old mine on the opposite hill. Furthermore, given that the hotel's concept is based on the idea of pathways, both tangible and intangible, the second translation of the word 'mine' as ‘something that is mine' implies the transformative journey of the guests, where every moment, aspect, and experience of the island becomes uniquely their own. The addition of the word 'Sifnos' is a direct connection to the location, making the destination evident from the hotel's name.
Logo Description
The logo of Sifnos Mine captures the essence of the hotel narrative, combining its name with the rich mining heritage of the island and the multiple meanings of the word. With a modern symbol depicting the entrance of a mine, the logo functions as a multifaceted metaphor.
On one level, it symbolizes the mines of Sifnos, paying homage to the island's historical relationship with metallurgy. On another level, the mine entrance represents the "facade" of the accommodation itself, inviting guests to embark on a journey of exploration, connection, and an authentic sense of belonging. The logo is a visual representation of the hotel as the threshold – the gateway to the unique experiences and paths it promises to offer.
Hotel Design
For the completion of the project, Destsetters collaborates with esteemed Architectural and Design teams, in the context of the thorough application of the concept to the overall experience, the correct specification of the anticipated operational needs, and the new hotel's commercial potentials. The Architectural & Design teams are selected by the investors/project owners and play an active part in the overall decisions regarding the development of the new property.
