What I can see
THE MET is a luxury hotel on the west side of the city, overlooking the port and its cranes, and is famous for its contemporary design. Externally, monochromatic contrasts and sharp side beams have been emphasized, to aesthetically harmonize the building with the harbour.
What I can't see
The work of Zege Architects (Tassos Zeppos, Eleni Georgiadi and associates) includes 212 rooms and suites, 13 conference rooms (7- 750 people) with state-of-the-art technology, spa, gym and swimming pool. Its restaurant is famous for its international Asian cuisine. The hotel is decorated with many works of art, including photographs by Ralph Baiker, Andreas Gursky and Thomas Struth. The illuminated sofas of the restaurant are designed by Andy Martin and associates, the hotel furniture is designed by Minotti and Armani Casa, the parking lot is inspired by Formula 1 and marble has been used throughout the hotel’s interior.
