Thomas Cook opens second lifestyle hotel
Casa Cook Kos, the second of Thomas Cook’s new range of lifestyle hotels, is now open.
Building on the brand’s launch with Casa Cook Rhodes in 2016, the new hotel debuts the first Casa Cook Spa and the first Beach Club with a culinary concept developed together with award-winning chef and restaurateur Ettore Botrini.
Located in Marmari on Kos, the 100-room hotel is custom-built on a beach and has been designed like a village with ‘spaces for private retreat and social areas that foster a sense of community’.
Next to the Beach Club and Spa, further highlights include a well-equipped gym with adjoining yoga terrace, a concept store featuring fashion, homewares and a juice bar and lounge, a beach kiosk with paddleboards and bodyboards as well as the hotel’s own motor boat for daytrips along the coast and to neighbouring islands.
The room categories range from doubles with terraces or verandas to two-bedroom villa suites featuring a private pool and garden.
Casa Cook Kos is on the island’s northern coast, 13 km from the airport and 16 km to Kos Town.
Package prices start at £1,059 per person, half board.
