About the Island Hotel
Hydrea Exclusive Hospitality - A historic boutique hotel near Hydra Port with sea-view suites, gourmet Mediterranean dining, and a panoramic terrace
Hydrea Exclusive Hospitality, a 5-star boutique hotel built in the 19th century and declared a monument by the Greek Ministry of Culture, sits within 400 meters of Hydra Port, offering direct harbor views from most accommodations. The hotel features an elegantly decorated bar and a furnished terrace with panoramic views over the port and scenic town, while free WiFi is available in public areas. Rooms and suites, such as the Hydrea Suite with Sea View and Private Balcony, include beamed ceilings, well-chosen furnishings, soft colors, a fridge, slippers, free toiletries, and a hair dryer, with modern bathrooms featuring bathtubs or showers; some units provide panoramic views over Hydra Town and Port. The atmospheric on-site restaurant serves gourmet Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on local flavors, and breakfast is served on the main terrace with fresh ingredients. Leisure options include a sun terrace, daily housekeeping, and express check-in/check-out, though the hotel has only 8 rooms, creating an intimate atmosphere. The hotel is located near the School of Art, which is round the corner, and within a short walk of various bars, shops, and restaurants; the Hydra Museum Historical Archives is 3 km away, as is the Ecclesiastic and Byzantine Museum. Guests can reach the sea for swimming at Hydronetta within a 5-minute walk, and the hotel offers a tour desk, shuttle service, and private check-in/check-out. Business amenities include fax/photocopying services, and the hotel provides laundry and dry cleaning services, luggage storage, and a concierge-like tour desk. Hydrea Exclusive Hospitality is family-friendly, with non-smoking rooms throughout and a designated smoking area, but note that the main staircase is steep and long, with no alternate access.
