We look forward to seeing its development over the coming months,” noted Nick Carrier, Principal of WATG.
"Our innovative, highly thoughtful approach and dedication to creating unique, luxurious experiences is perfectly aligned with the Mitsis Group's vision for the redevelopment of the Mitsis Grand Hotel and its cultural impact on the island of Rhodes," said Libby Bull, Senior Designer & Vice President of ROAM.
The next projects
The Mitsis Group has planned a series of investment projects for the period 2024-2028, exceeding 250 million euros, with the renovation of the historic Mitsis Grand Hotel being the flagship project in Rhodes Town. The investment plan includes the creation of new hotel units, the complete renovation of existing hotels, as well as the management of additional hotels in important Greek destinations, such as Rhodes, Halkidiki and Athens. These moves will further strengthen the Group's footprint across the country.
