Hotel contribution to "Pride of Place" or "sense of place"
- Through hotel interior design: mosaic designs, marble columns are inspired by the Delos civilization (opposite of our resort property) and local artistry is spread around hotel grounds
- Through hotel architecture: hotel is built according to local Cycladic architecture using low height cubing buildings and lime and stone elevations with pergolas and bouquavillas to add some color
- Through staff training to emphasis on Mykonian hospitality that made Mykonos world known
