“From the outset, our vision was to create an intimate place where guests can slow down, connect with their surroundings and experience Paphos in a more authentic and meaningful way,” Theodosia Christodoulou, Front Office Manager, comments on the occasion of the location recently gaining new MICHELIN recognition.
Noting that M Boutique Hotel was created as an adults-only retreat, shaped by a philosophy of understated luxury, thoughtful design and genuinely personal hospitality, she was speaking to CBN after the popular Paphos location was once again included in MICHELIN’s Selection, having also been awarded a MICHELIN Key in 2025.
Commenting on the accolades, Christodoulou says, “Being recognised by the MICHELIN Guide is particularly meaningful to us. It reflects the care and attention we bring to every detail — from the hotel’s design and atmosphere to the quality of our service and the overall guest experience. Above all, it is a recognition of our team, whose passion, dedication and genuine approach to hospitality are at the heart of M Boutique Hotel.”
“This recognition is dedicated, above all, to our incredible team, the people behind every detail, every welcome, and every moment shared with our guests. We are fortunate to have a team who truly understands hospitality and most importantly, genuinely loves what they do,” she continues.
The Front Office Manager continues, “The M Boutique is a tribute to Maria, the mother of Anthimos Economides, with whose lifelong connection to the hospitality industry and profound understanding of the art of welcoming and caring for guests became a defining inspiration behind the project.”
As Christodoulou points out, Maria’s passion for hospitality, warmth and dedication to creating meaningful experiences are woven into the very essence of the hotel. “Her influence and legacy shaped its vision, bringing together contemporary luxury with the timeless values of genuine hospitality,” Christodoulou said.
She shares that, inspired by his mother’s legacy, Anthimos Economides, the owner of Kuutio Group, a leading developer of bespoke luxury properties, chose to transform the property into a contemporary boutique hotel, “a project that would not only reflect his vision for refined, modern hospitality, but also serve as a lasting tribute to Maria and the values she held dear.”.
Christodoulou continues, “Our location is an essential part of that experience. Step outside the hotel and you are immediately immersed in the rhythm of Paphos — whether setting out for a morning run, taking a leisurely stroll along the promenade or watching the sun set over the Mediterranean. We encourage our guests to venture beyond the hotel, discover the places we love and experience the city as locals do.”
“We are proud to call Paphos home and to play our part in the growing reputation of Cyprus as a destination for discerning travellers. This recognition inspires us to continue evolving while remaining true to what defines M Boutique Hotel: a strong sense of place, genuine warmth and an experience that feels both personal and distinctly Paphian,” the Front Office Manager concludes.
