Two Greek hotels are among the most anticipated to open their doors in 2022, according to recents listings on international travel sites.

After CNN included One & Only Aesthesis on its list of best “arrivals” of 2022, Conde Nast Traveller included the new hotel on the Athenian Riviera and the Casa Cook Hotel on the island of Samos.

Casa Cook Samos

The idea for Casa Cook hotels was launched by the travel agency Thomas Cook. When the once powerful tourism giant went bankrupt in 2019, the chain, which had already spread to the Greek islands and Egypt, was rescued by the Chinese group Fosun.

According to Conde Nast Traveller, the new Casa Cook Hotel in Samos, scheduled to open in May 2022, is the first in the chain to open since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

With earth tones and concrete floors, the rooms are “warmed” with linen and fabric, as well as bamboo fixings. Six swimming pools, a yoga area, a wellness center and a beachfront restaurant, the Beach House, complete the picture.

One & Only Aesthesis

The latest in the One & Only chain in Europe, following last year’s opening in Montenegro, is also eagerly awaited this year.

Conde Nast Traveller reports that One & Only Aesthesis is coming to one of its favorite cities: Athens. Rooms offer spectacular views of the Athenian Riviera, dishes of authentic Greek cuisine are made with local ingredients, and the wellness center offers Chenot Spa treatments.

One & Only Aesthesis opens its doors in the summer of 2022.
