The newly opened Casa Cook Samos in Greece is the winner of the Hotel Design Award 2022. The prize was awarded on Monday 6 June at the 196+ forum in Milan, hosted by PKF hospitality.

The jury referenced the vision of the hotel’s design company of maintaining the essence of a Samian village character, but with a modern interpretation, as a winning aspect. Opening in May 2022, Casa Cook Samos is the latest addition to Casa Cook’s popular array of boutique hotels. Nestled in the island’s lush landscape this 128-room adults-only retreat offers the brand’s trademark laid-back luxury in one of the Mediterranean's most stunning surroundings. Inspired by traditional Greek houses, or Kamares, found in Samian villages, the hotel’s architecture is down-to-earth and inclusive. The historic concept of a Grecian village has been embodied in the modern space, where the hotel’s infinite swimming pools act as the town centre of each small ‘neighbourhood’ within the hotel.

A total of 15 hotel applications, from nine European countries, were submitted for the award. In determining the winning hotels, the jury looked at the originality of the architectural and design concept, the associated architectural quality of the building and facade and the design of the interior.
