The Capsis group recently proceeded with the purchase of 22.5 percent of the building housing the Bristol hotel – which it has leased – in the popular Ladadika area of Thessaloniki.
By June, the group, headed by Lena Capsi, will comprise the Capsis Hotel in Thessaloniki, the Astoria Capsis in Iraklio, Crete, the traditional Capsis Bristol and the Pantheon Pallas in Gouves, Crete.
It plans to open a second traditional unit, in Athens, on the site of the former Delfi hotel which the group purchased in 1999 and is set to begin operating as the Athens Capsis within the first six months of 2003.
The Capsis group is also mulling the advantages of a listing on the Athens stock exchange.
