A legendary classic of 1960s hotel architecture, The Mykonos Theoxenia Hotel has made a glamorous comeback. The hotel manages to harmoniously meld with Mykonos’s radiant seascape as well as perfectly suit the Greek island’s dynamic local nightlife culture. During the day, sun-worshipers can soak up golden rays on white Moroso beach chairs or luxuriate within curtained four-poster beds overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Later, they can chill out amongst the cool stone details and crisp turquoise, lime, orange and bright white decor emblazoned in the interior of Aris Kostantinides’s iconic structure by designers Yiannis Tsimas and Angelos Angelopoulos. Their novel use of energetic colours renders the design experience as exciting and joyful as a bowl of ripe fruit; the rest of any guest’s experience is in the expert hands of the relaxed spa, restaurant and service staff. The voluptuous curves of Patricia Urquiola’s deep-blue Fjord bar stools, the organic sensibility of stone pillars, and clean feel of beech period furniture evoke the relaxed elegance of mod-era jetsetter luxury. It’s something the Mykonos Theoxenia exemplified in its first heyday and embodies once again.
