Hospitality Design - September 2012 - 208

If there is one thread that unites the
distinct properties in the Yes! Hotels
portfolio—Semiramis, Twentyone,
Periscope, and Kefalari Suites—it is vivid
design and a plethora of modern artwork.
Joannou, an avid art collector, once again
instills a gallery vibe at his most recent
venture, New Hotel.
An original black marble staircase
serves as one of the few reminders this
property was once a circa 1958 modernist
icon, the Olympic Palace Hotel. For the topto-botom
refurbishment, Joannou sought
out São Paulo-based furniture designers
(and brothers) Fernando and Humberto
Campana, who are renowned for their skill
with salvaging and repurposing objects
but new to the hospitality sphere. Joannou
enjoys collaborating with first-time hotel
designers (Semiramis was Karim Rashid’s
debut), thinking it is a boon to the creative
process. “It challenges us and the artists,”
he says.

Beyond the art on display, from the likes
of Laurie Anderson and Barbara Kruger,
the space is a modern work of art in itself.
Much of this is thanks to the group of young
designers, students from the University of
Thessaly’s Department of Architecture,
to whom the Campanas turned for help
craſting lamps, tableware, and seating in
a workshop seting. “We [spent] one year
working on it and every two months
we came to Athens. We could see the
fantastic results of these young students,”
says Fernando.
Chairs are a signature element of the
design, whether it flaunts a Louis XIV
frame shrouded in caramel-hued leather,
is a faux Thonet painted canary yellow, or
doubles as a ladder. One of the Campanas’
most well-known designs is a Favela Chair,
which inspired the towering, sculptural
hodgepodge of wood scraps, reminiscent
of a tree, in the restaurant New Taste.
Throughout the hotel, much of the design
takes its cues from nature: a large slab of
marble stands in the lobby, Ugandan bark
cloth cloaks the corridors, and jagged
copper-colored sinks in guest bathrooms
resemble rocks.
“The process was unique,” says
Humberto. “Working close to Syntagma,
[the] central square of Athens and a tourist
atraction, was really exciting. All the
cultural aspects that we had on our side gave
us much more inspiration. The key point
of this project was that we reused the old
furniture of the hotel and [gave them] a
new face.”
All 79 rooms—filled with furniture
custom made by the Campanas—nod to
Greek culture: vintage postcards putting old
Athens in the spotlight, glass amulets that
reinterpret the evil eye, and gold covered
shadow puppets.
“Images of the ’60s come to mind.
It’s a strange amalgamation of things,”
says Joannou. But despite New Hotel’s
