Panas Sophisticated Hospitality has been connecting the dots between what brings people together since the early ’90s. The Panas Group has changed the way people live, dine and escape inside a distinctive emotional geography.
For almost four decades, brothers Spyros Panas and Chrysanthos Panas have been shaping the Athens hospitality and entertainment scene through their signature instinct and eye for what matters.
At the core, their own, authentic curiosity about what makes a life unique: travel, art, food, music, late-night dinners, and large circles of friends. Their personal understanding of how people meet and how stories begin shaped world-class lifestyle landmarks that people return to.
Bringing people together
is the one true luxury destination.
The Panas Group currently owns and leads the iconic Island Resort that started the Athens Riviera and features the Island Club Restaurant, the Island Event Spaces (Residence, Gallery, Privé, C-Lounge, Private House, Business Villa) and the seaside tented resort the world was missing: The Cabanas.
In the center of Athens, the Panas Group owns and leads the emblematic Athénée that revived the class of old Athens.
The Panas Group has also introduced Remembership, an Insider Circle community whose members enjoy exclusive privileges and access to selected experiences across Island Resort and Athénée.
The portfolio stretches across Related Art, Chrysanthos Panas' distinguished contemporary art collection that turned from a personal living archive into an evolving open conversation with the world, with many of the art pieces living as nomads inside the venues.
The dialogue with culture also extends to publishing. Chrysanthos Panas is the author of Greek Islands, the curator and author of the forward of Athens Riviera, both published by Assouline, as well as the author of Zaïra — A Story of the Panas Family, published by Kastaniotis.
The latter traces the history and revival of the landmark Zaïra cinema, part of the Panas family legacy, while connecting personal memory with the cultural life of Athens.
The Panas Group portfolio includes other signature places and timeless projects like the legendary private social club Salon de Bricolage, which has come full circle, alongside tailor-made concierge services and high-end publications.
Other projects of the past included much-loved spaces that marked an era, like America America, Central, Dragoste, Ciro's Pomodoro, City Bistro, Ilios, Bar de Théâtre. In the past, Panas Group also managed The Margi and Cavo Tagoo Mykonos.
Character over formula. Culture over spectacle. Hospitality shaped around people.
All Panas Group brands share the same ethos: character over formula, culture over spectacle, and hospitality shaped around people. The future here has never been scripted too far in advance. The next landmark, the next coastline, the next space worth staying in, the next reason to cancel other plans —it all starts the same way it always has, instinctively. The destination is always each other.
The destination is always each other.
