PB hotel design editorial

Carved into the caldera edge at Imerovigli — the highest point on Santorini's rim, where the island's famous whitewashed geometry feels most elemental — Iconic Santorini works within the Cycladic vernacular rather than against it, layering volcanic stone retaining walls, barrel-vaulted cave rooms, and lime-plastered terraces into the cliff face in a way that makes the boundary between architecture and landscape genuinely difficult to locate. The property's seventeen suites descend the escarpment in a cascade of interconnected platforms, each oriented toward the open caldera and the submerged crater of Nea Kameni beyond. Inside, the rooms carry the cool weight of traditional skáfta construction — arched openings cut between chambers, walls thick enough to hold the heat at bay — while the furnishings introduce a warmer, more personal register. Horizontal timber slat headboards, rush-seated chairs in the manner of Børge Mogensen, antique iron chandeliers, and hand-painted ceramic accent pieces sit against floors of polished local stone. On the terrace restaurant, slatted white pergolas throw striped shadow across teak-framed dining chairs arranged to face the caldera directly, the view functioning less as backdrop than as the room's primary architectural element. The private plunge pools, their coping detailed in the same dark volcanic cobble used throughout the retaining walls, keep the material conversation consistent from interior to edge.

"We had a mostly lovely stay at The Iconic Santorini, The staff were warm and welcoming—special thanks to Aristea, who was particularly helpful throughout our stay. The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking, and the central location made it easy to walk into Fira. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Parking nearby was surprisingly easy, usually just a short walk from the hotel, which made exploring the rest of the island very convenient. However, there were a few downsides. The indoor restaurant is small—likely not used much during better weather—which became an issue for us since strong winds persisted for much of the week. Breakfast service was a bit inconsistent; even though we pre-selected our time and choices the night before, we still encountered delays most mornings. The pool is very small, though I understand that's fairly typical for properties on this side of the island. The main concern during our stay came after a particularly rainy evening. We returned to our room to find rainwater had seeped in under the door. Some of our belongings that had been left on the floor were soaked. Worse, my husband slipped on the wet stone steps leading down to the bathroom while trying to grab towels. It was a concerning incident and something the hotel should address, especially during inclement weather. Overall, The Iconic Santorini offers beautiful views, excellent service, and a great location, but we hope some of the practical issues, particularly around weatherproofing and breakfast logistics, will be improved in the future."

"I am Miss Emma from London, and I decided to go for a trip of a lifetime at the Boutique Cave Hotel last summer. I booked an awesome sea-view suite after some negotiation on price, staff who helped us with booking was professional and knowledgeable. The suite was spacious, beautifully decorated, and clean. We got some complimentary toiletries. Towels were fresh. Our maid arranged our clothes neatly, which was surprising to me. The resort was only short walk from the beach and about 20 minutes from the town center. Hotel provided us with transter. We took the opportunity to go sightseeing with driver from this hotel, and it was a fantastic trip. The transfer to the airport, unfortunately, was not included in price The sea was exactly as on pictures. I would go again in a heartbeat to see this view again. The breakfast buffet was huge, but food was obviously overcooked to me. The internet was fast enough for us. The staff was always on the line with us. it's very important for me to be able ask for help any time.Even upon arrival at 3 am they brought us extra pillows. Travel light, as there wasn't enough space in the wardrobe, despite the fact that the room was spacious. Our stay supassed all expectations. We went home with different outlook on life. Overall service and atmosphere were so wonderful that i am definitely passing you a knowledge about this perfect resort."

"Arrived at Athens airport and was greeted by our driver, transportation services arranged by hotel. Driver was polite and professional. It wasn’t a long drive to the hotel. We received a warm welcome by Aristea. Very nice young lady. She was very polite and professional. She did great job explaining the hotel and surroundings. To our surprise, received an upgrade to our room. Thank you ICONIC Hotel. The room was terrific. Due to the upgrade we had nice little pool inside our room! That was really nice. Hotel is immaculately clean. The staff at front desk to wait staff are all polite and professional. Food was excellent at the hotel. The views from this hotel are incredible. Its central location makes it easy to walk to Fira. It’s only a 20 minute walk. Visit the town. From there you can take the public bus to Oia and spend a few hours. Would totally recommend this hotel and come back."
