Please tell us a few things about the digital upgrade process of the H Hotels Collection.

The digital upgrade within our group occurred in three stages. It began during the construction of the Princess Andriana Resort & Spa and Boutique 5 Hotel & Spa in around 2010, when it was decided that our entire group would implement unified operating systems aligned with cutting-edge technology of that time. Initially, we invested in hardware such as WiFi antennas, switches, IP telephony, IP TV, servers, etc., from reputable vendors, and in software for our core programmes like PMS & POS, which could now support multi-property operations.

Subsequently, we focused on apps that facilitated hotel operations, ensuring processes were followed more efficiently, minimising errors, maintaining records of all critical issues, nearly eliminating paper usage, and adding value to our guests’ experience. Finally, in the third stage of our digital upgrade, which we are currently undergoing, we are investing in the security of our systems, upgrading what we already have, and selecting new programmes and partners that can provide solutions to ensure we are prepared for any new challenges that may arise in the future.

Could you describe the new App, the IPTVs in the rooms, Digital Signage and WiFi hotspot and how they are all connected with the brand?

The new application is built upon the experience we have gained from creating previous applications. It is a fresh and flexible product that aligns with the operations and all services provided by the hotels, offering guests the ability to access any information they need about the hotel they are staying at, as well as the option to make purchases, book services, and reservations. Additionally, this app is designed to be used by our guests even after they depart from the hotel, allowing them to stay informed about our latest news and receive offers and privileges through our loyalty programme. The most important aspect is that the app, IP TV software, digital signage, and WiFi hotspot are essentially operated through a unified software system, providing guests with a seamless experience with multiple functionalities without needing to switch between different programmes or gather information from various platforms.

What are the future plans for further digitalising the group?

Our future plans for digital upgrades focus more on services supported by AI and IoT, while continuously maintaining our existing hardware and software at a high level.

Have you ever wondered who are the people at H Hotels Collection that make your moments matter? Meet Ioannis Misthos, Group Chief Financial Officer & Business Development Director. Read his interview and find out more about his favourite things at H Hotels Collection.

Please present yourself to us.

Over the 30 years of my career in Hospitality Industry as a Chief Financial Officer, General Hotel Manager, Managing Director and currently appointed as a Group CFO & Business Development Director, I have been committed to prove that productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning and focused effort as per Paul Meyer’s quotation. And this focus on dealing with difficult circumstances in financing, budgeting, operational cost management and my accomplishments, led to a successful development and maximisation of the Financial performance and profitability in the Tourist Enterprises I have worked with.

Based on this reasoning, I started my collaboration with the H Hotels Collection in 2000, a company that at that period owned 2 hotels; Rodos Princess Beach Resort & Spa and Princess Sun Hotel & Spa. I worked there full-time until 2004, during the period that the construction and operation of Lindos Princess Beach Resort & Spa was completed. From 2004 until 2017 I had a consulting position in the Group, in 2012 the construction and operation of Boutique 5 Hotel & Spa and Princess Andriana Resort & Spa was completed. I returned on a permanent basis to the position of Group CFO & Business Development Director in 2018, when Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa was completed. In 2024, H Hotels Collection bought the hotels Rhodes Bay & Elite Suite and Titania Hotel Athens from the English company L&R.

Why do you love working at the H Hotels Collection?

Working at the H Hotels Collection and experiencing the cooperation and communication with so many people in your daily life is a challenge by itself and a great experience. The creativity and the continuous development of the Group is exactly what fits perfectly with my mentality.

Which is your favourite room type within the Collection?

My favourite room type is Family Room with Sharing Pool at Princess Andriana Resort & Spa, mainly because I had the chance to unwind there alongside my children and get away from worries of everyday life.

What is your favourite cocktail and at which bar?

My favourite cocktail is an Aperol Spirtz at the Main Bar of Rhodes Bay & Elite Suites at the sunset hour. It’s the perfect match!

Which is your preferred restaurant of the group?

Even though we have a lot of extraordinary restaurants, Wasabi Asian Restaurant at Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa is a great experience.

Where is your favourite spot of our hotels?

Definitely Roof Garden at Titania Hotel Athens. Having a double view of the Acropolis and Likavitos is unique!

You have been in the group for 24 years and you have seen it through its different stages. How do you feel about the growth that has occured?

Of course from the course and development of the Group over the years I can only feel satisfaction and security. We were able to overcome any difficulties and come out victorious. We are able to gaze upon the future with optimism, enjoying every day, without complacency, our current course and the respect of our partners; staff, banks, guests or suppliers.

What does the addition of Rhodes Bay & Elite Suites and Titania Hotel Athens mean for H Hotels Collection?

The above additions of these two iconic hotels mark the change in the Group’s philosophy. It is essential for its extroversion which is not accidental but coordinated, programmed and on stable basis. All this could only be achieved with the addition of executive staff and the active action of the new generation of the owners under the guidance of the founders. This is the best promise for the future.

What is the plan for the future of the group?

The plans cannot be other than those of development. That means the creation of new properties, the continuous renovation of the existing resorts and the addition of other investment opportunities. With the passion of creation, that the owners of the H Hotels Collection has inspired us, we all have a lot to offer.

Reception, lounges, restaurant, bar, kitchen. Only the beautiful view of the sea will remain the same.

We are the new Phoenix rising from its ashes.

What are you most looking forward to for summer 2024?

The first day that we will open our door to welcome the first guest and of course meeting our old valuable friends that have been with us for years now over and over again. Last year due to this devastating fire we did not get the chance to see them, talk to them and have great laughs as we always do. I am not a Manger that hides away in his office not to be seen, whoever knows me understands what I mean.

What Rodos Princess Beach Resort & Spa guests should expect for summer 2024?

A great hotel, great staff, best quality service and food, an experience that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. As we say at the H Hotels Collection group, we make moments matter, and this season we will be doing exactly that once again.

Have you ever wondered who are the people at H Hotels Collection that make your moments matter? Meet Ioannis Hatzilazarou, Board Member & President. Read his interview and find out more about his favourite things at H Hotels Collection.

Please present yourself to us.

I began my career in 1965, when I immigrated to Congo, at the age of 17 years old. I made my first steps in industry and commerce there, along with my siblings, but I promised to myself that I would go back to my homeland, Rhodes Island, one day. As I was aiming to expand to new markets and I was already feeling nostalgic for life in Greece, I founded the first hotel of the group in Kiotari, Rhodes, in 1993. Over the course of 30 years in the hospitality industry, I crafted the H Hotels Collection group, a family business at its core that reinvented the concept of Greek hospitality through high-quality services and focus on travellers’ needs.

Why do you love working at the H Hotels Collection?

Well… (laughs) as the founder of the group coming in to work everyday is an absolute joy. Especially since I get to work with my family. I also love to watch the group grow year by year surpassing even my greatest expectations.

Which is your favourite hotel of the H Hotels Collection?

I of course have a soft spot for Rodos Princess Beach Resort & Spa. It was my first venture as a hotelier/businessman in Greece with my brother as partner and it was truly a labour of love. However I consider Lindos Princess Beach Resort & Spa my lucky charm. Lindos Princess Beach Resort & Spa was my first solo venture, and its incredible success made the creation of all our H Hotels Collection possible.

Which is your favourite room type within the Collection?

What is your favourite cocktail and at which bar?

A classic, but a good one – Campari orange at the Sketch Bar of Boutique 5 Hotel & Spa.

Which is your preferred restaurant of the group?

Definitely Wasabi at Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa. It offers Asian delights with the perfect view of the Aegean Sea. Of course you need to end this gastronomic experience with a glass of champagne at Oinos Wine & Champagne Bar within the mesmerising ambience that live piano music creates.

Where is your favourite spot of our hotels?

Hanami Asian Restaurant & Bar verandas at Rodos Princess Beach Resort & Spa.

How do you feel about the addition of Rhodes Bay & Elite Suites at the H Hotels Collection?

Adding a hotel close to the city of Rhodes to the group was always our plan, it was a matter of finding the perfect opportunity, and we have! Now we can offer a more diversified range of options to our collection and extend our client base.

What is the plan for the future of the group?

Our next big project is an all new 5-star family hotel in our native Kiotari. The concept for this hotel is truly original, an exciting departure from traditional hotel accommodation. I don’t want to give away too much, so watch this space and stay tuned for more.

It is ideal for big families (can fit up to five people and a baby), it has an amazing view to the sea and an infinity swimming pool. Plus, by staying in one of these rooms I can order my floating breakfast in room and start my day super fancy.

What is your favourite cocktail and at which bar?
Definitely the Porn Star Martini at Mayia Exclusive Resort & Spa Del Mar Bar. (Insider tip: ask the barman for a shot of fizzy prosecco. Sip the Cocktail & finish with the shot of fizzy Prosecco.)

Which is your preferred restaurant of the group?
The brand new Sunrise Greek Taverna of Princess Sun Hotel & Spa for dinner. Traditional Rhodian dishes, cosy environment and nice sea view!

Where is your favourite selfie spot?
I don’t have only one! With six hotels within the group all located in prime spots and have great architecture, I can tell you a different favourite selfie spot for each time of the day.
