A restaurant that is a landmark in the modern history of Thessaloniki, a renovation that gives a new life to the construction, and a brand new hotel overlooking the Thermaikos Gulf. These are the key ingredients of the revival of the historic Olympos Naoussa, a former Thessaloniki point of reference that aspires to attract the city's attention again.
A key parameter in this new chapter is respect for the building's history and its connection to the present. According to the people of Divercity Architects, the architectural firm that undertook the design of the project, “the proposal attempts to restore and revive the original aura of Olympos Naoussa, from its establishment during the interwar cultural bloom of Thessaloniki, and transform it into a 5-star hotel with fresh interiors of contemporary elegance”.
The historic restaurant, the hotel's reception area, and a lounge bar are housed in the existing ground and mezzanine floors that have been restored. In addition to the pre-existing building, Olympos Naoussa has undergone a vertical extension, thanks to which the creation of 60 rooms was completed. In these rooms, the approach is much more modern than the listed part of the building, which is also evident from the contemporary design choices, the aesthetics of the interiors, and the minimal sliding windows that enhance natural lighting and contribute to an unobstructed sea view.
