Domotel Les Lazaristes hotel in Thessaloniki has the honor to be placed among the design hotels, a globally reserved name, for hotels distinguished for their architecture and interior design preserving a distinctive balance with functionalism and excellent services.
Design hotels are an international cooperation that offers a combination of high hospitality services and includes a group of hotels where the guest can expect a unique hotel-living experience.
Domotel Les Lazaristes hotel has been housed in a former tobacco warehouse of the middle 20th century the time when Thessaloniki had been established as a European center of tobacco trade. The history of the building as well as its neighboring with the cultural center of the city, Moni Lazariston (State Theater of Northern Greece, State Museum of Contemporary Art, Drama School, School of Fine Arts and Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra) have constituted from the beginning an inspiration for creation.
Thus the challenge of the architectural planning was not limited in converting the old tobacco warehouse into a modern luxury 5-star hotel, but it also set a bold goal: the accession of the hotel into the cultural “map” of the area. References in culture and arts are obvious in every location of the hotel, from common areas to every room separately.
Seven fine Arts, the opera, dance, architecture, cinema, theater, sculpture and painting gave their thematic material to indoor areas as each one of the seven hotel levels has been dedicated to one of these arts. The most important cultural agents of Thessaloniki have responded to our call and contributed to selecting works that are displayed in the hotel. One of the main criteria for selecting works has been their reference or the reference of artists to Thessaloniki.
