Hotel Aristide is located in Vaporia, a lovely neighborhood with neoclassical villas that recall Ermoupoli’s trading and manufacturing past. Three minutes from the hotel is Asteria, an urban beach with concrete platforms that give access to some of the clearest waters in the Aegean. There are always fish swimming around. A pair of goggles may reveal octopuses and starfish.

Aristide is a small luxury hotel with nine-rooms (eighteen beds) with a focus on design, art and sustainability. The hotel has a garden, a rooftop with sea views, an indoors bar, an art gallery and an artists’ studio. All served food has a focus on local, seasonal and organic ingredients, and Cycladic recipes. Breakfast is a menu breakfast and are served in the beautiful garden.

The hotel is in a restored neoclassical mansion in the historical centre of Hermoupolis. The generous spaces and original architectural details, makes it feel like a beautiful home rather than a hotel. The building is one of the last neoclassical houses to be built in Greece.

The permanent art collection can be found throughout the hotel’s rooms and public spaces and includes original and sometimes commissioned works by artists such as Christy Lee Rogers, Igor Skaletsky, and Riccardo Vecchio. The dedicated art gallery will host our Yoga retreat.

You will be offered yoga classes every day. In the morning at the roof top with the most magical sea view. Afternoon yoga classes will take place in middle of all Art – in the gallery- imagine that feeling!

Aristides have tried to make a beautiful home that happens to also offer everything that guests expect from a hotel. The vibe is relaxed, staff is professional but genuinely warm and kind. The other important aspect is that Aristides want the hotel to be connected to its location, not just by virtue of being in Syros, but by being integrated in local culture and society.

The island of Syros is hardly known abroad. Syros locals explain that they watched the quaint fishing villages of nearby Mykonos become mass tourism party hubs, and just didn’t want to follow in their tracks. This island instead remained an authentic and lived-in place, with an urbane, arty scene with numerous festivals (international film, jazz, street art, animation etc), student bars (there is a university on the island) and galleries in addition to the secluded beaches, diving spots, hiking trails and foodie havens.
