The most important details in hospitality are often those you don’t consciously notice.

The weight of a door handle. The position of a lamp. The texture of a fabric. Each is considered to make the space feel intuitive, comfortable and memorable.

It’s the accumulation of these small decisions that gives a hotel its sense of ease.

Experience shapes the way we design. Led by Maria Vafiadis, the senior team at MKV Design brings together creative direction, technical knowledge and decades of experience across hospitality and residential design.

From first concept to final detail, that experience helps guide every stage of a project.

A historic frieze rediscovered after 40 years. During the restoration of Royal Savoy Lausanne, this façade was found beneath a wall of plaster.

Now protected as a listed monument, its blue, green, and ochre tones reflect Lake Geneva, the surrounding vineyards, and Lavaux.

Preserving the past became part of shaping the hotel’s future, as timeless design can begin with what's already there.

At Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Budapest, history meets contemporary hospitality.

Restored 19th-century interiors are paired with Hungarian metalwork, embroidery and tile-making, while aquamarine, green, gold and copper tones reflect the character of the city.

A historic landmark reimagined for contemporary hospitality.

When art becomes part of the architecture. At Athens Capital Hotel - MGallery, hundreds of original works by Greek artists are woven throughout the guest experience, bringing contemporary Greek culture into the interiors and giving each space its own character.

Considered from the beginning of the design process, the collection creates a stronger sense of identity, place and connection.

Tenerife's landscape shaped the design of Royal Hideaway Corales Resort.

Volcanic stone, water, sunlight and shade are brought into the semi-subterranean interiors, while warm timber helps guide guests through the space.

Outside, stone courtyards move between sun and shelter, extending the spa experience into the landscape.

Timeless design is not about avoiding change. It is about making decisions with enough clarity to remain relevant as needs evolve.

For Maria Vafiadis, strong design considers aesthetics alongside function, experience, and long-term value.

A moment from Maria sharing her perspective on design and hospitality.

Designed for privacy and time together, the Oasis two-bedroom villa at W Costa Navarino combines separate bedroom suites with generous living, dining, and entertaining spaces.

Outside, direct beach access, a private infinity pool, an outdoor bar, and an open-air cinema overlooking the Ionian Sea extend the experience beyond the interior.

At Grand Hyatt Athens, the design evolved across two phases while maintaining one clear identity.

The original lobby was reworked in deep-veined marble, while pale oak guestrooms and marble bathrooms introduced a lighter character. Later, the hotel expanded into the neighbouring building, with a larger atrium connecting old and new through natural light.

A project designed to grow without losing its sense of continuity.

Built into the mountain, the Alpine Spa at Bürgenstock Resort takes its identity directly from its surroundings.

The 10,000 sqm spa extends through a tunnel cut into the rock before emerging into a cantilevered glass structure 450 metres above Lake Lucerne.

Local stone, smoked finishes, Swiss-inspired fabrics, and a 36-degree infinity pool connect the experience closely to the Alpine landscape.
