Stademos Hotels Invests €10 Million in Renovation and Design Vision

In the cultural heart of Paphos, right beside the UNESCO-protected Tombs of the Kings, the renowned Elysium Hotel is poised for a stunning transformation. Known as the “Grande Dame” among Cyprus’ five-star establishments, Elysium is currently undergoing an extensive €10 million renovation. A bold investment that not only reaffirms its commitment to unparalleled guest experiences. This sets a new benchmark for luxury tourism and Suits in the region. With this kind of mediterranean luxury you can experience a family friendly Vacation.

Where Design Meets Identity

Leading this ambitious redesign is the esteemed local architectural firm Eraklis Papachristou, celebrated for its clear, Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic. The overhaul of the hotel’s 48 suites—scheduled for completion by Spring 2025—features a harmonious blend of premium materials such as oak, travertine limestone, Greek Terrazzo marble in “Ionian Beige,” and stone sourced from Limassol. The result: an interior that exudes minimalist elegance grounded in earthy tones.

Each suite is envisioned as a private retreat:

• Garden Villa Suites offer dedicated garden spaces with private pools.

• Family Duplex Suites span two levels, providing versatile living areas for families.

• Adults-only Studio Suites impress with luxurious queen-size beds, expansive double showers, and private terraces perfect for sunbathing and stargazing, with exclusive access to a secluded Adults-Only Pool.

Public areas too are receiving a green facelift. Native plant species will be integrated throughout the landscaped gardens, reinforcing the hotel’s connection to its breathtaking natural surroundings.

Luxury with a Vision

“It’s not just about aesthetics,” explains Luciano Sozzo, Chief Operating Officer of Stademos Hotels. “It’s about evolving the Elysium into a sanctuary of tranquility, beauty, and a meaningful connection to our rich local history.”

Stademos Hotels, a family-run enterprise established in 1989, is synonymous with exceptional Cypriot hospitality. The group’s portfolio includes other celebrated properties such as the opulent AMARA in Limassol and the family-friendly MedBeach in Limassol. With this renovation, Stademos Hotels is signaling a commitment to creating unforgettable, year-round holiday experiences steeped in Cypriot warmth, serenity, and unparalleled comfort.
