OmniView's Eéso: A 'Hotel Within a Hotel' Opens in Crete
Eéso, a secluded enclave designed by the Athens-based architecture firm OmniView, is now complete within the Nema Design Hotel & Spa located in Analipsi, Crete. The term Eéso translates to 'within' in ancient Greek, and it functions as a 'hotel within a hotel' featuring its own suites, gardens, and dining options. Architect Dimitris Tsigos describes the design as 'introverted', prioritizing privacy in its overall layout. The enclave includes dark mineral surfaces, robust walls, and offers four suite varieties: Atrium, Sanctum, Pavilion, and Penthouse. Guests can enjoy a central pool with pergola-covered seating and dine at the restaurant Ná Le Ma, with rates starting at £558 per night. The project was highlighted in Wallpaper*, with an article by Travel Editor Sofia de la Cruz.
