Boutique Hotel
Its location is easily missed, on an oceanside bluff overlooking Agios Stefanos, opposite the deep water harbor 5-minutes north of the main village. A traditional white-stone façade rises above a single-lane street interrupted by a small courtyard area leading to the main lobby. Simple one-room reception area is surrounded by ocean-theme graphic art, opposite a narrow hallway connecting an all-white lounge/internet area and in-house spa facilities. The hotel is constructed vertically, interconnected by two three-person elevators and a series of picturesque stairways that open-up to panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.
Colors of the ocean are translated into the hotel with washed-gray awnings varying between shades of blue and green. A game lounge with Playstation and oversize plasma TV overlooks the pool area, directly above a one-room fitness center with treadmill, Precor elliptical machine and free weights area. A lavish pool deck features an all-white design with modernist loungers opposite an open-air restaurant and bar. Serving upscale Greek cuisine with an emphasis on seafood, the restaurant also hosts the complimentary morning breakfast available till 11:30am that should not be missed.
The Room
While not an unwalkable distance to the main town, guests should make arrangements for their own transportation even given the generous service of an in-house shuttle van. Guest rooms are spread-out over a 4-story structure ranging from compact standard rooms to roomier deluxe suites with private balconies and whirlpool tubs. Sleek wooden doors open to white-painted walls with stone floors and whitewash ceilings. Oversize graphic art depicting beach and water scenes hang above king-size beds, tucked with quilted duvets and ultra-soft linens and pillows. It’s by far the best bed in Mykonos. Most guest room feel a bit on the small size, with compact desk areas connected to cruise-ship size closets with barely any living space to tuck oversize objects like suitcases or even a large duffle bag. Marble bathrooms feature glass windows with retractable shades overlooking bedrooms, with painted-concrete walls, basin sink and rain showers. A wide selection of Korres toiletries includes Body Milk, apple-cinnamon body wash and delicious citrus shampoo. Most upgraded rooms offer expansive balcony areas with queen-size loungers and freestanding whirlpools in glossy cobalt-blue tile.
