Located in the most central point of Platres since the start of the 20th century, this is a space that holds beautiful memories for many people. The once timeless presence of the Petit Palais hotel has once again been brought to the forefront, continuing the tradition of a building that has become a piece of the area’s history.
Petit Palais began its operations during the 1930s, as evidenced by an announcement in a local newspaper of the time. It is possible, however, that the building was there even earlier, at a time when it was called Grand Brittania.
By the mid-1950s, a major renovation took place when a new tenant took over, though the overall image of the hotel remained the same. A press release from the time stating that a group of 80 tourists from Egypt stayed at Petit Palais is a testament to the hotel’s capacity for accommodating large numbers of visitors.
The radical change in the hotel’s image came about in the late 1980s, after a full renovation by anew manager. Throughout the ‘90s, it remained a particularly popular destination during both summer and winter. It operated with short breaks until the summer of 2018.

It was then that the George Tsanos Group decided to invest in the enduring advantages of Platres. And so, a hotel with a timeless presence in the local hospitality industry begins a new journey, nearly 100 years after its creation.
