Hotel Little Rochari, Mykonos

HISTORY OF LITTLE ROCHARI

by Mary Holmquist

The Little Rochari Hotel is the newest addition to the Rochari family.

As the Kousathanas family continues to grow, so does the business. When the opportunity to purchase this piece of real estate arose in 2004, it was decided that the Rochari Hotel needed a 'baby sister' to help accommodate the ever increasing guest register. The Little Rochari operates as an extension of its 'big sister', is conveniently located very near to the original hotel and welcomes its guests in the same hospitable manner.

This

hotel was built in 1993 by Antonios Economou and operated under the name of the Edem Hotel. Mr. Economou moved to Korinthos and the hotel was welcomed as the newest arrival to the Kousathanas family. After many discussions over possible names for the new hotel... Baby Rochari and Rochari Too being two of the options... the night porter came up with simply "Little Rochari" and it stuck. After a quick face lift the doors opened for business in April 2004 and underwent further updates and renovations in 2005.

The Little Rochari is still just a "toddler" and over time will develop its own stories to add to and continue the long history of the Rochari Hotel.
