In 2018…
The year 2018 was a great year for LEDRA HOTELS Group as it also ran for the first time the five-star hotel complex Domes Miramare Corfu, which has been operating as Domes Miramare, A Luxury Collection Resort, Corfu, since August.
As it is known, Miramare was constructed and run since 1960 by Gerasimos Patronikolas, who was the husband of Aristotle Onassis’ half-sister, Kallirois Patronikolas. About five years ago, it was acquired by Al Rayyan, a company that belongs to Al Thani, the former Emir of Qatar, and which started the radical reconstruction of the hotel complex.
Eventually, Al Rayyan decided not to run it by itself but to rent it, after competition, in Ledra chain of Spanos Group, as money-tourism has revealed. Miramare has totally 113 rooms, suites and bungalows, and it serves as adults-only resort, as it addresses to 16-year or older guests.
It is reminded that Ledra Hotel group has five hotel complexes in Crete (Domes of Elounda, Sentido Elounda Blu, Pleiades Luxurious Villas, Domes Noruz Chania and Casa Cook Chania which is going to start operating in 2019).
