Five hotel rooms that stand out for their design, aesthetic, and relaxing atmosphere By food journalist Dimitris Stathopoulos.
Five hotel rooms that stand out for their design, aesthetic, and relaxing atmosphere.
They stand out for their comfort and luxury. They're designed to provide visitors with functionality while using the finest materials for decoration. In almost every luxury hotel, you'll find one or more rooms that offer guests something extra. Some are called suites, while others are given names related to the region with a prefix indicating their distinction from the rest.
Suites are built for greater comfort, add prestige to the hotel, comprise more square footage, and usually have two or more rooms. Touring Greece, we selected and present to you five hotel rooms that caught our attention.
Grand Forest Hotel Metsovo: Grand Forest Suite
Located at the top of a mountain in an incredibly enchanting setting, it consists of eight buildings total with 62 suites and beautiful lounges, a restaurant, and spa. Gray tiles, stone facades, and carefully curated interior decoration give the hotel the essential atmosphere of a mountain chalet.
The Grand Forest suite covers 70 square meters and offers stunning views of Metsovo and the surrounding area. The suite consists of a spacious bedroom with a comfortable large king-size bed and a separate living room.

The Lynx Mountain Resort, Florina: The Lynx Grand Suites
The iconic Lynx Mountain Resort is the continuation of the historic Xenia Florina, fully modernized and forming a hospitality space in the heart of nature, with a backdrop of lush forests, mountains, and the beautiful city of Florina.
With views of the city, the comfort and quality of facilities become the ideal base both for exploring the region and for moments of relaxation and tranquility. A warm drink by the fireplace and the wonderful view from the large windows will make these moments indelibly recorded in your memory.
On the top floor of the building, we find The Lynx Grand Suites, 45 square meters, which offer separate living and bedroom areas for greater privacy and comfort, while leaving the feeling of staying in a luxurious, warm, and welcoming loft.

It features 45 rooms, most with excellent views of the fertile Lakonian plain, and has already emerged as a top spa destination. The design of spa programs called "Euphoria Methods" marries ancient Greek with Chinese therapies, as well as science with natural methods.

Spacious and comfortable, with minimalist aesthetics, it creates the conditions to enjoy the Euphoria experience to the fullest, with the two rooms functioning complementarily.
