Take one of the most dramatic settings in the Mediterranean, transform traditional cave homes into a world-class hotel, and then leave it to a team of pros who obsess about hospitality and service to turn it into a truly remarkable retreat on a truly romantic island. But don’t take our word for it. In the first year Iconic has received kudos from Islands Magazine as 2014 Top 5 Picks for Awe, 2015 Traveler's Choice award from TripAdvisior, Greece's Leading Boutique Hotel for 2014 by World Travel Awards and one of the 101 Best Hotels in the World by Tatler, who reviews it as “terrifically stylish but with a real sense of place.”…All this within one year of opening. Iconic Santorini is a re-purposed marvel, a boutique cave hotel created from actual homes and shops in the whitewashed village of Imerovigli, the highest settlement on the fabled Santorini caldera. All 20 rooms and suites echo the island’s unique style of white vaulted caves, notched into the cliff, skillfully restyled, all with stunning sea views. Traditional fabrics blend with luxury amenities like flat-screen televisions, JBL sound systems, i-Pod docks and over-sized Coco-Mat all-natural bedding. Since guests say they love the sheer luxury of Iconic Santorini, two new suites have been added, with some of the best views in the hotel. If you want to be among the first to tan on their balconies, ask for a Cycladic Suite when you make your reservation. SECOND SEASON BEGINS MAY 1, 2015 WITH A FOCUS ON FOOD AND ROMANCE With the opening of its second season on May 1, 2015 Iconic Santorini invites honeymooners, romantics, lovers, escapists, foodies and independent-minded travelers to experience this inspired hotel’s unique blend of antiquity and today’s amenities. Chef Konstantinos Avgoulis (Chef Kostas to his guests and fellow chefs all over the world) has been developing enticing new menus focusing on local Santorini and indigenous Greek cuisine. Recently, he spent a week in Chile demonstrating his creativity in a Gastronomic Week, held at the Grand Hyatt Santiago. Again this year, dining at the hotel’s cliffside Pergola Restaurant will be one of your most rewarding and romantic memories of your Santorini escape. Romance is always in the air and Iconic offers special packages that might include a candlelit 8-course dinner for two, welcome bottle of Champagne, massages for two, private airport transfers and private sightseeing tours, depending on the category of suite. Rates in May start at 645 Euros a night for two, including breakfast and poolside snacks, all hotel taxes and complimentary high-speed Internet access. The Iconic Santorini is managed by Hospitality America* and belongs to the Mantis Collection of award-winning five-star properties -- a combination that means guests enjoy a smiling, friendly welcome and world-class personal service, the kind of pampering Greek hospitality that earned Iconic Santorini its garland of awards.
