The concept was developed to be aligned with the organizers’ aim of creating an exhibition that would enhance the visitor’s stimuli through experiential events and activities.
“Into the Light Hotel” introduces the visitor to the 100% Hotel Show via a path that triggers memories linked to the way we perceive light. The use and perception of light through different perspectives and filters (modern trellises, skylights, pergola) trigger the visitor’s emotions, the initial experience is met by warmth, feelings of safety and intimacy.
The lobby is a place which allows a connection with the mountains of the mainland. Arid plants in a sand garden compose a landscape that resembles that of the Greek islands. Visitors can admire the imposing work by Greek artist Apollo Glykas, “Fountain”, which represents a modern interpretation of the Shadow Theatre. The space also features notable artworks by fellow Greek artists Yiannis Moralis and Nikos Lagos.
