Cronwell Resort Sermilia
Description
Cronwell Resort Sermilia is located on the Greek peninsula of Halkidiki and is a member of the hotel chain Cronwell Hotels & Resorts. DEL BLU received a pre-existing, 6-storey, â60s beachfront hotel which was completely renovated and upgraded. The only thing retained was its static body. The principal design challenge was to apply modern techniques and methods to an aged and rather tired building in order to create a fresh and up to date hotel both in terms of function and morphology.
Statement of the jury
The modernity and outstanding quality of this resort are reflected in its outer appearance and interior design. Intelligently placed retro design elements create a congenial connection to the hotel, which dates back to the 1960s and served as a basis for the new design.
