The Bold Type Hotel

Architecture Empi Spathi

Architecture Empi Spathi

The Bold Type was brilliantly conceived and restored by architect Empi Spathi with the structure’s heritage firmly in mind.

Blending seamlessly with the city’s traditional look, the existing shell that houses the hotel was treated as a work of art by the architect, retaining its original color and timeless feel. Soaring ceilings throughout the public spaces encourage gathering and highlight a sophisticated hospitality air, with everything flowing effortlessly to a magnificent, well-preserved Mediterranean garden.

Interior design Empi Spathi

The hotel’s design organically highlights the colors of the city through an inspired three-tone approach.

The first floor presents a brick-red color as an homage to the city’s ancient theater. The second floor, defined by cobalt, is a tribute to the color of the original house. And on the third, green augments the plants and trees that embrace the structure. Fine walnut, restored marble and wood floors, and authentic wooden shutters create the perfect frame for Calligaris rugs, Varagis furniture, and Cocomat mattresses.

Food & Drink Back to nature

Talented chef Christos Spyropoulos oversees a dream space at the back of the hotel, a secret courtyard embraced by blue sky.

The hotel has quickly made a bold mark on the local gastronomy scene with an inspired fusion of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine coming alive through such dishes as grilled calamari with squid ink and crawfish, and beef carpaccio tartare with pepper mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. Dining al fresco in a verdant garden setting allows guests to connect sensually to the city yet with a sublime sense of remove.

Food & Drink Reflective spirits

The bar’s contemporary cocktails perfectly complement the archeological sites and cultural monuments that surround the hotel.
