The name of Grecotel is synonymous with quality hotels, personalized service, traditional Greek hospitality, and a caring concern for the environment and culture of Greece.
Almost four decades since its formation in 1981, Grecotel S.A. is the largest hotel chain in Greece with 32 resort hotels and a total bed capacity of over 16,500.
The Grecotel Hotels & Resorts (4*and 5* hotels) are located in Crete, Corfu, Chalkidiki, West Peloponnese, Rhodes, Mykonos, Kos, the Athenian Riviera, Athens, Larissa, and Alexandroupolis.
According to Greek market statistics Grecotel S.A. ranks as No. 1 Greek hotel group with 4% of total 5-star, 4-star, and 3-star hotel turnover.
The Grecotel Group has been awarded with thousands of national and international distinctions for its excellence and contribution to tourism, hospitality service, organic cuisine, environmental protection and sustainability, improving local communities, and much more.
The Group features four distinctive collections – Boutique, Beach Luxury, Lux Me, and Lifestyle All In Hotels & Resorts. Each of the 32 luxury hotels and resorts has a distinct character, with a strong focus on design inspired by its stunning surroundings – many being close to notable Greek archaeological sites. The accommodation caters for every taste and whim: sea view rooms, family suites, and bungalows, with the option of a private pool and gym, and exclusive villas.
The Group excels when it comes to its service culture, always striving to surprise and delight. The warmth of Grecian hospitality is one of many reasons guests return to a Grecotel resort year after year.
Over 6,700 personnel are employed in the Grecotel offices and hotels, making it the most significant employer in the Greek hospitality sector. The Privilege Club loyalty scheme was founded in 1996 as the first hotel loyalty scheme in Greece, while it has recently undergone a total relaunch with a world of unique new benefits for its members.
Grecotel has won thousands of awards for high-quality services, warm hospitality, a substantial contribution to the upgrading of Greek tourism, social work, conservation initiatives and highlighting the environmental and cultural heritage of Greece.
The Group companies have recently completed 62 million euros worth of radical renovations and extensions to luxurious hotel complexes in the Greek region and recently announced new investments worth 60 million euros.
