Greek industrial declared ultimate winner at hospitality design award show

The most fascinating hospitality design projects were also awarded at this year’s AHEAD Awards 2020: the first place winner was a Greek seaside hotel, without the usual blue and white idyll for once.

The derelict building of Hotel Dexamenes located on Greece’s western Peloponnese coastline used to function as a wine factory, but has been out of operation since the 1920s. Greek architecture studio K-Studio turned it into a luxury hotel by also preserving the original character of the industrial building.

The rusted walls stayed and they even kept the giant tanks of the factory, which gives a unique atmosphere to the luxury hotel otherwise oozing contemporary aesthetics even in the tiniest details.
