Hilton announced a franchise agreement to open two resort properties under the Curio Collection by Hilton brand, managed and operated by Brown Hotels in Greece. Isla Brown Chania Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton, and Isla Brown Corinthia Resort and Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton, will welcome guests in time for the summer season. Both hotels will feature multiple swimming pools, several dining and drinking outlets and striking design elements throughout, reflecting each property’s unique character.
“Hilton is focused on our continued growth in Greece, with plans to triple our presence in the coming years,” said Alan Mantin, managing director, development, Southern Europe, Hilton. “The popularity of resort hotels, both with owners and guests, has helped us to enter new destinations across the region. We’re thrilled to start our cooperation with Brown Hotels, who will manage and operate the hotels, to bring these fantastic properties into our portfolio and welcome guests later this year. In the last five years alone, we’ve doubled our portfolio of hotels at resorts in Europe, Middle East and Africa, now with almost 80 hotels, and owner demand in markets like Greece is contributing significantly to our growth in this segment.”
Leon Avigad, founder and co-owner, Brown Hotels said, “We’re excited to partner with Hilton to open Isla Brown Chania Resort and Isla Brown Corinthia Resort and Spa under the Curio Collection by Hilton brand. Isla Brown Chania Resort and Isla Brown Corinthia Resort and Spa will offer an unparalleled guest experience in time for the 2024 summer season and as we introduce more guest rooms at both properties, we look forward to sharing that experience with more visitors to Chania and Corinthia, through our partnership with Hilton and its Curio Collection”.
Isla Brown Corinthia Resort & Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton
Situated along the Athens Riviera, only one hour drive from the buzzing capital, Isla Brown Corinthia Resort & Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton, will offer guests unobstructed sea views overlooking the Saronic Gulf from the hotel’s 166 guest rooms, each featuring a private balcony. For an even better view, guests will be able to head to the hotel’s 550 square meter rooftop to grab a drink at the bar or relax on loungers beside fire pits that light the rooftop at night.
In addition to the rooftop bar, guests will be able to sample the flavors of the Greek islands at the hotel’s charming taverna, buffet restaurant, lobby bar or pool bar to get a quick bite, indulgent meal or delicious cocktail. The hotel will feature two swimming pools and immediate access to a private beach, as well as an expansive gym and award-winning spa offering five treatment rooms, a sauna and a hammam. Additionally, the hotel’s multi-purpose modular meetings and events space can host up to 400 guests and is a perfect option for corporate and social events.
The creative vision of the team at Elastic Architects for Isla Brown Corinthia has been acknowledged by the IDA with the ‘Gold’ architecture prize in the ‘Hotels & Resorts’ category by the International Design Awards (IDA) 2022.
The hotel’s design has its inspiration rooted in ancient Greek mythology, creating a unique, local story throughout the property. The clean and contemporary aesthetic features curved interiors that offer a sense of serenity and calm alongside exciting and playful architecture and design elements. The light-filled palette and the hotel’s organic curves were crafted with the intention of the structure to appear as an extension of the landscape.
