In 1927, at 7 Kolokotronis Street in Kavala, a neoclassical building was waving to the future.
Almost a century after its construction, it changed its game and identity; it was renovated by Sandra Kalliagra and Normless Architecture Studio in accordance with the most modern decoration terms without, however, erasing its architectural past. The Anthemion House, this three-storey, grand and modern, fresh and stately hotel is a jewel of a building for the city.
Great emphasis on comfort
The plaster anthemia on the façade and around its perimeter of the building give it its name. The hotel is at the intersection of the old and the new, placing great emphasis on both comfort and functionality, and building links of meaningful communication with its guests.
The hotel’s reception, along with one of the five hotel apartments, is situated on the ground floor. On the same level, a courtyard area has been created under the external staircase of the building.
The remaining six hotel rooms are equally distributed over the two floors of the building, each of which has a corresponding lobby.
Blue, green, gold and wood
Ceramic tiles with geometric patterns were used for the bathrooms and some of the common areas, while shades and tones of green and blue paired with matte gold details were chosen for the hand-crafted furniture that decorates the rooms.
The wooden doors of the building were restored and reinstalled while metal doors with handmade knobs were custom-made for the common areas and bathrooms.
The bright touches of colour produce a wonderful contrast with the wood, which instantly creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere in any room -no matter where it is used.
Combining fresh contemporary glow and nostalgic grandeur, The Anthemion House in Kavala exudes an aura of relaxed timelessness.
