  • Grecotel Breaks New Ground in 2018 €42 Million in Investments, 630 New Jobs
    Grecotel Breaks New Ground in 2018 €42 Million in Investments, 630 New Jobs 5 Spectacular Property Remodels Including Corfu Imperial Grecotel Exclusive Resort Athens, 28 July 2018 Grecotel, Greece’s leading luxury hotel group, has completed a wide investment project exceeding €42 million and creating 630 new jobs. The largest employer of the Greek hotel industry, Grecotel currently has 6,100 employees. In response to the modern needs of luxury tourism, the investment plan includes the remodelling of 5 hotel complexes in 4 of the country's top tourist destinations. Upgrades have been made to 780 guestrooms, 40 dining venues and 155 acres of open-air infrastructure. In particular, the N. Daskalantonakis Group – Grecotel business plan incorporated developments to Corfu Imperial Grecotel Exclusive Resort, Daphnila Bay Dassia Grecotel LUX ME Resort, the new Casa Marron Grecotel All-In Resort (formerly Lakopetra Beach), Pella Beach Grecotel Family Resort and Rhodos Royal Grecotel All-In Resort. Managing Director Mari Daskalandonakis said: "The remodelling of Grecotel hotels is continuous. It is a legacy and a precursor to the creation of ‘third generation’ units in Greece, which elevates the country's tourism product and shields it from the competition. Corfu Imperial Grecotel Exclusive Resort, for example, our flagship property in Corfu, was already a leading hotel; its present day marks the passage into the new era and dominance as an emblematic destination of the highest standards of hospitality and service in the Med.” Grecotel expects a 7% increase in overnight stays and a 9% increase in turnover for 2018 compared to the same period last year, according to Daskalandonakis.
