The second hotel of the Sandikou family in the "heart" of the port after "The Alex". Partnership with Hellenic Properties.
The Santikos Collection of the Santikos family is expanding with the opening of the brand new hotel "Twinn" starting January 18.
This is the property owned by the real estate company Hellenic Properties in the centre of Piraeus at 14 Polytechnic Heroes and Karaoli, which is now being "run" by Santikos Collection, the hotel company founded by Nikos Santikos and present in the area since 1984 with its first hotel in Sporades, New Money reported.
It is a family business that initially started its activity on the island of Alonissos and currently has a total of six hotels in four destinations across Greece (Skiathos, Alonissos, Pelion, Piraeus), having received, more recently, the last five years, the decision to expand to the country's largest port.
The company of the Sandikos family, with general manager Mr Konstantinos Sandikos, has focused on the port, aiming at the audience mainly of modern professional travellers in an up-and-coming tourist area of Attica, where there is an apparent lack of modern hotel rooms.
In Piraeus, the first hotel of the Santikos Collection, named "The Alex", with 34 rooms, opened in 2019 after a radical renovation of the old Bella Vista hotel, while now the company is expanding to the centre of the port as a continuation of the collaboration with Hellenic Properties, to cover a segment of the market aimed at professional tourism and beyond.
As for the new "Twinn" hotel, Hellenic Properties proceeded to reconstruct an old office building of 1,500 sq.m. purchased in 2019 without the original plan necessarily including creating a hotel.
According to the managing director of Hellenic Properties, Mr Errico Arones, the gross value of the project is around 5 million euros, with the main advantage of being located in an area of high commercial interest, just 150 metres from the Piraeus Municipal Theatre and the metro terminal.
