The Poseidonion Grand Hotel (Greek: Ξενοδοχείο Ποσειδώνιο) is a luxury hotel on the island of Spetses, Greece.
Each of the 55 rooms is decorated with a mix of antique and modern furniture with references to the colonial era.
It is an example of Neoclassical architecture and was inspired by the InterContinental Carlton Cannes Hotel in Cannes and The Negresco in Nice.[1]
It was the first hotel in Greece to offer spa treatments, whereby four small pools were filled with warm water and sulphur in order for the treatments to take place.
The hotel has won awards from Conde Nast Traveller.
It sponsors the Spetses Classic Yacht Race organized by the Yacht Club of Greece and the Spetses mini Marathon.
Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, and Robert F. Kennedy stayed at the hotel in the 1960s.[2]
