The 1900 Hotel in Symi Island, Greece is a 19th-century neoclassical mansion right on the seafront. An architectural gem that, through careful and thoughtful restoration, keeps its heritage alive and allows its guests to experience a modern version of its history. The house has been left merely intact, yet meets the needs for comfort and simple luxury of today.
High-painted ceilings and walls burst with vibrant colors and details that will take your breath away. Vintage elements are beautifully matched with the charming ambiance of the building. The large openings and strategic location of the building make you a private spectator of the amphitheatrical, colorful and lively stage of the port. As you walk through the 1900 Hotel and its fabulous interiors, you can strongly feel the heavenly allure of a bygone era, only now it’s your story being written.
This stunning simplicity puts you center stage and makes you the protagonist. The house’s main rooms have been seamlessly transformed into four elegant suites, steeped in history. On the entry-level, a courtyard surrounded by lush greenery frames the blue of the Aegean Sea. As you pass through the main entrance, you look at the beautifully painted ceilings.
On the same level are the 1901 and 1902 suites. The top floor consists of two more suites, 1903 and 1904, and the most amazing terrace overlooking the harbor. An honesty bar is located on the landing, once the corner where musicians played and accompanied family and friends lounging on the terrace.
