Modernisation works at the St Raphael Resort Hotel in Limassol have been completed. The luxurious 5-star hotel has undergone a complete renovation. The renovated hotel recently opened its doors to guests.
This was announced by Farah Shammas, Managing Director of St Raphael Resort.
For 38 years, our hotel has been a symbol of hospitality in Cyprus, offering guests exceptional comfort, elegance and first-class service. In 2025, we are entering a new era and our transformation is just beginning,' she stressed.
One of the most notable changes is the hotel's new façade. Thanks to transparent balconies, guests can now enjoy panoramic sea views from the comfort of their rooms. The resort's cuisine has also reached a new level. The team of chefs has introduced unique gastronomic concepts to cater to a wide variety of tastes. The hotel has also expanded its team of pastry chefs, who have turned desserts into an art form. A burger restaurant with an author's take on fast food will open on the hotel grounds this summer. St Raphael Resort has revamped the menu at Seashells Restaurant, one of the few vegetarian restaurants in Cyprus.
We strive to surprise our guests with culinary masterpieces that combine tradition and innovation,' says Farah Shammas.
