Although Mykonos itself is a work of art, there are places where art is not simply displayed, but lived with. At Tharroe of Mykonos, art forms part of the hotel’s identity through a private collection and carefully chosen objects that create a continuous dialogue between past and present.

The hotel’s spaces are shaped by artworks, architectural elements and objects with history, integrated naturally into everyday life rather than presented as formal exhibits.

Art at Tharroe exists quietly, offering depth, texture and meaning without imposing itself.

Chapter I – Objects with Memory

• The reception desk, dating back to 1890,
was originally part of a professor’s auditorium at Manchester University and was acquired through auction.
Crafted for academic use, it still preserves
its original ink wells, once used for writing with pen and ink.
Today, it remains in daily use, carrying its original function forward, while connecting the hotel’s present with its scholarly past.

also originates from the library of the same university, reinforcing the sense of continuity between knowledge,
gathering and shared experience.

• The entrance door of Barbarossa Restaurant comes from a neoclassical house on the island of Syros, bringing with it the architectural memory of another Cycladic era.
