In Camera Art Boutique Hotel

Deep within the UNESCO listed Medieval City of Rhodes, In Camera Art Boutique Hotel brings individually created suites, centuries old stonework and a private garden together in a wonderfully atmospheric address among the lanes of the Old Town.

This is a hotel that makes sense of its surroundings rather than simply occupying them. Thick stone walls, arches, timbered ceilings and ornamented tiles preserve the character of traditional Rhodian buildings, while courtyards and terraces create small pockets of outdoor space behind the historic façades. Step outside and the streets of the Medieval City immediately take over, but within the walls the mood becomes intimate and surprisingly peaceful.

Photography gives In Camera another layer of personality. Cameras and original art photographs appear throughout the interiors, lending the hotel the feeling of a personal collection rather than a conventional decorative scheme. It works particularly well against the age of the building, bringing something contemporary and individual to rooms shaped by stone, timber and the irregular architecture of the Old Town.

Rooms & Suites

Every room and suite is different, and even their names give a sense of how individually they have been conceived. Mediterranean Pearls, Terra Incognita, Nymph of Helios and A Travel into the Light each occupy their own part of the building, with layouts dictated by the original architecture rather than repeated from one room to the next.

COCO-MAT mattresses bring contemporary comfort to the historic interiors, while exposed stone, arches, tiled floors and timber details remain prominent. Some categories open onto balconies or private gardens, and several of the larger suites add an outdoor hot tub, creating wonderfully private places to return to after a day among the streets of Rhodes.

Panselinos is particularly appealing with its private garden and outdoor hot tub, while the Medieval Villa, Places in Suspension, gives the stay a more independent character. The Master Suite, Forms of Light, also has its own outdoor hot tub, making these upper categories as much about their private outdoor spaces as the rooms themselves.

Dining

Mornings can begin slowly here, with breakfast available in the privacy of your room as well as coffee and lighter options within the hotel. The garden and terraces provide lovely places to linger before heading out into the Old Town, particularly while the lanes beyond are still relatively quiet.

Then Rhodes itself becomes the dining room. Tavernas, restaurants and cafés are woven through the surrounding streets, so dinner can be somewhere different each evening without ever needing a car or much of a plan. The hotel bar is waiting when you return, allowing the evening to finish back within the calm of the courtyard and garden.

Experience

Staying inside the Medieval City changes the way Rhodes is experienced. The Palace of the Grand Master, Synagogue Kahal Shalom, Yeni Hamam and a remarkable collection of churches, squares and historic buildings are all reached on foot, but some of the greatest pleasure comes from wandering without a particular destination through streets that have evolved over centuries.

Early morning and evening are especially rewarding, when the day visitors thin and the Old Town feels more residential again. Being able to step out after breakfast or take another walk after dinner gives you time to see this extraordinary part of Rhodes at a completely different pace.

Walking and cycling tours can take the exploration further, while hiking, horse riding and diving open up other parts of the island when you are ready to venture beyond the walls.

Wellness

Wellbeing at In Camera suits the intimate scale of the hotel. Massages, beauty treatments and yoga can be arranged, while a spa relaxation area and outdoor hot tub provide quieter moments between time spent exploring the city.

The private hot tubs attached to several suites are particularly tempting after a long day on foot. Returning through the medieval lanes to your own garden or terrace, then slipping into the water while the Old Town settles around you, feels entirely in keeping with the spirit of the place.

Where

In Camera Art Boutique Hotel sits in the heart of Rhodes Old Town, within walking distance of the Palace of the Grand Master, Synagogue Kahal Shalom, Yeni Hamam, the harbour and the many restaurants, shops and historic landmarks of the UNESCO listed Medieval City.
