THE HOTEL CHAIN

The hotel chain “Mitsis Hotels SA” was founded by Mr. Konstantinos Mitsis in 1976 and represents the most important activity of the Mitsis Group of Enterprises, which is also active in the following sectors: textile industry, wine production, construction and publication.

History

Bearing in mind the group’s versatile activities, the Mitsis Hotels logo is representative of the company founder’s attitude towards life, for the last 40 years or so: a forward-looking, target-oriented figure. The first knitting factory is established on September 5th, 1954. It signals the beginning of a long, successful career, which evolves at a quick pace. Achievements succeed to one another: textile industry, wine production, construction and mass media.

While the first hotel unit only operates in 1976, today, hospitality has become the group’s main activity.

Key Figures

The company counts 16 properties, 4-star, 5-star and deluxe City and Resort hotels, as well as 4 spa & thalassotherapy centres, located in some of the most beautiful areas of Greece: on the islands of Crete, Rhodes and Kos, in Kamena Vourla in central Greece, and in Ioannina, with a total capacity of 15000 beds. 4 more hotel units are currently under development on the islands of Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes and Kos and are expected to operate by 2008. The company employs 3000 staff, thereby playing an important part in the country’s tourism development and employment sector.

Awards

Mitsis Hotels has been awarded several prizes, by local and international tour operators & travel organizations, in recognition of the high quality of the services provided, its upgrading of the Greek tourism product and its respect for the environment.
