The Agora Hotel

PANO LEFKARA, CYPRUS

Opened in December 2022, The Agora Hotel is the place to be for those seeking a dash of cool with their luxury. Its standout façade is reminiscent of Ladurée’s caramel and pistachio macarons, while inside is an elegant ensemble of eclectic pieces, earthy tones, brushed gold accents, swathes of velvet, and a touch of tassel. Its eighteen rooms circle an open-air courtyard pool—book a ‘Grand’ if free-standing baths send your heart aflutter. The hotel is an adult-only zone, so leave the tots behind and split your hours between the retro lounge bar and snazzily dressed heated pool, setting your alarm solely for pizza o’clock. Alternatively, you can hire a bike from Agora’s fancy fleet and zigzag your way through the hilly landscape or rent a car to explore further afield—Cyprus is small enough to make day trips to all its corners. In-house Med-inspired restaurant Novél is open to the public, as is the hotel’s array of events, such as cocktail-infused jazz nights and summer Club Tropicana pool parties, all of which draw islanders to Pano Lefkara, Agora’s oh-so-charming home, a lacemaking village at the foot of the Troodos Mountains.
