Argos Hotel

This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:

The Argos Hotel renovation process maintains the original architecture of the building, helping the cultural and historical heritage of the destination to be handed down to future generations.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:

Argos Hotel was originally built as a typical Ottoman style mansion about 200 years ago. Today this mansion is used as a hotel after completing a restoration project. During the restoration process, upmost attention was paid to retain the original architecture and decoration, such as hand carved wooden doors and ceilings.

The owners deserve appreciation for changing a decaying structure into a beautiful living one. Successful restoration project applications such as Argos Hotel have a great effect on sustainable tourism. Standing old buildings are like the ornaments of a destination, making it original and different, and adding to tourist interest.
