IHG® Hotels & Resorts opens the first and only branded boutique hotel in Cyprus – Hotel Indigo® Larnaca. Each of the hotel’s 40 bedrooms are all uniquely designed and inspired by Cyprus’s craft heritage with balconies overlooking the picturesque city of Larnaca. Just a five-minute drive from the airport, the hotel is centrally located in one of Larnaca’s most historic areas, near the church of St. Lazarus and close to Finikoudes and Mackenzie beaches.

Within walking distance to the beach, the hotel combined two traditional Cypriot beach homes into a new hotel, marrying design elements from both old and new. The bedrooms have a modern yet contemporary feel by merging raw concrete with locally made, brightly coloured traditional textiles and light wooden furnishings. The en-suite bathrooms have spa-like rain showers, with brushed concrete flooring and original Cypriot tiling. All the balconies are fitted with traditional Mediterranean yellow shutters, reminiscent of old Cyprus, and mimicking the sunset amongst the surrounding mountains.

Hotel Indigo Larnaca also offers a stunning rooftop pool and Kampana Pool Bar with breathtaking views of the sea. The regionally inspired onsite restaurant, Avli, and the Oinotelia wine bar, are conveniently situated on the ground floor and are a destination for locals, tourists, and guests.

Mr. Savvas Kakos, President and CEO of Quality Group, said: “At Quality Group we are extremely happy and proud to welcome one of the most renowned hotel groups to the city of Larnaca. Unique and intriguing by definition, and one of the world’s largest boutique brands,

Hotel Indigo® is now part of the wider area of Saint Lazarus and a perfect addition to the heart of the city. On behalf of Quality Group, I convey my strong faith and certainty that this brand-new and organic collaboration with IHG® and Hotel Indigo® will leave its mark on the hotel industry in Cyprus.”

Inspired by the neighbourhood around each property, just as no places are alike, no two Hotel Indigo properties are the same. Each Hotel Indigo property features thoughtful design touches and vibrant restaurants and bars connected to the spirit of the local neighbourhood. Hotel Indigo Larnaca takes in the rich history of the Agios Lazaros area and is ideal for romantic getaways and caters to the most seasoned traveller.

There are currently 119 Hotel Indigo properties open globally including the recently opened Hotel Indigo® Verona – Grand Hotel Des Arts, with another 104 in the pipeline to open in the next 3-5 years,

The Cyprus government`s action plan for the gradual lifting of the restrictive measures for flights to and from Larnaca and Paphos airports were the focus of a meeting on Wednesday at the Presidential palace under President Nicos Anastasiades.

The meeting was attended by the Ministers of Transport, Health, Finance, Labour, Foreign Affairs, Justice and the Deputy Minister of Tourism as well as by the members of the scientific group on COVID-19.

In statements after the meeting, Sentonas noted that President Anastasiades listened to the opinions of the scientists for various issues, related to these plans, as the phases for the opening of airports, the categorization of the venues, the determination of criteria and the preconditions of each category as well as the measures for prevention and health protection.

Sentonas said that President Anastasiades thanked the scientists for their valuable services for the management of the pandemic, and the effort they are making to inform citizens.
