Guide Review - Ikies Hotel on Santorini
Rapidly becoming "the one to beat" in Santorini caldera-view hotels, the Ikies offers dramatic views, beautiful tilework accents, and a luxurious feel throughout. They have the knack for minimalist Cycladic decor without it ever feeling like something is missing, not an easy trick. White-on-white predominates; the sea and sky provide the necessary contrasting blue.

The "real" name is the Ikies Traditional Houses, but that implies a separate rental situation or colorfully cozy accommodations rather than a fully-staffed luxury boutique hotel, which is the closest category for the Ikies.
