Taking inspiration from nature, this hotel is on our must-visit list.
From Life House, South of Fifth in Miami to ON Residence in Thessaloniki, new hotels are booming post pandemic. Located on the Greek island of Crete, ACRO Suites is a luxury wellness hotel that has been on our radar for a while. Crafted by the best Greek designers and artisans, the property seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings, offering a boutique hotel experience to the power of ten. The hotel is the first property from Omicron Hotels, a modern hospitality group run by sisters Danae and Konstantina Orfanake.
The result of a collaboration between the owners and a number of different local design firms, ACRO Suites is breathtakingly beautiful from every angle. Sustainability and natural materials are at the core of the entire project with stone, unrefined woods, and rough marble just some of the repeated finishes, many of these from Crete itself.
Featuring natural earthy palettes, each of the 49 suites and villas (including the iconic Cave Suite in main image above) offer guests sweeping views of the Cretan Sea. Highlights include marble furniture pieces created by local artists, organic sheets and fabrics, and individual saltwater pools. The final result is a space where guests can rejuvenate and unwind while connecting to nature.
Designed by Manos Kipritidis, the F&B spaces at the property continue the serene and tranquil vibes. At Cremnos, guests will find a nutritional haven with inspiration taken from traditional Greek lunching and dining. Authentic Cretan cuisine is reimagined with ingredients sourced from small local farms.
Enjoy a drink at The Circle, featuring copper and wooden finishings, alongside custom made marble dining tables and natural fabrics. Of course the stunning views are the cherry on the top, and can be imbibed along with your cocktails or Cretan cheese.
The Bath House was designed by Utopia Hotel Design to offer guests the ultimate place to relax. Blending curved smooth stone with a range of natural elements, the layout of the space is based on a traditional hammam.
Enjoy large byzantine-style marble baths, dive into the pool, take a session at Asana Yoga Shala, get revived with a signature massage, and then recover in the lounge area. Gym fans will love the fitness studio that is home to top-of-the-line equipment and exceptional vistas of the surrounding coastline.
