Hotel Orloff
The Orloff, one of the historic Hydra mansions, was fully restored to an elegant and luxury boutique hotel in 1986.
The aim of the owners, whose house has been in the family for more than a hundred years, was to share with guests the privilege of living in the timeless and exclusive atmosphere of an historic house. In a continuous effort to update the hotel to the latest standards, restoration takes place every winter.
The house was built in 1796 by Count G. Orloff of Russia who started the first Revolution of Independence, the period known in Greek history as the “Orlofika” times.
Hydra’s splendour in the 18th century gained the island the title of “Little England”, thanks to the extent of its merchant fleet and the great skills of its captains. The wealth and power accumulated on Hydra were the starting point of the Revolution that lead to the foundation of the modern Greek state in 1830.
Since its restoration in 1986, the Orloff hotel has welcomed many guests and hosted many events, such as christenings and weddings, birthdays, book launches, painting exhibitions, shootings for the fashion industry, making the old house more alive than ever.
The hotel has 9 rooms and suites available each of which is individually designed to the smallest detail. Family antiques and rare objects blend with contemporary comforts in a continuous effort of renovation and with a constant search for authenticity.
