Situated in the very heart of Nicosia, the scenic capital of Cyprus, the MAP Hotel overlooks centuries-old Venetian bastions, while the townscape around is a veritable tribute to how ancient architectural marvels sit next to the scenic futuristic architecture of today.

But it is not just the location of the boutique hotel in Nicosia and the unrivalled charm of its interior that mesmerise, it is also what it stands for that makes MAP what it is. Its creator, Marios Palycarpou, has realised his childhood dream of setting up the hotel. Dreaming of becoming an architect but working as an accountant he designed the concept and built the hotel, making good on his childhood dreams and succeeding as one of Nicosia’s most successful hoteliers.

But it is not just his personality that imparts a unique ambience to the space and makes a perfect stay for a boutique hotel aficionado, it is also another eight reasons to stay at MAP Hotel.

Reason number 1: Delight in SCALE’s mouth-watering fare

MAP Hotel stands out not only for its modern interior and spacious well-lit lounges and rooms with private balconies but also for its cosy restaurant offering mouth-watering Cypriot fare and an exquisite selection of exquisite local wine.

On your arrival here, you will see the interwoven mind, soul, and corporal influences in the sharp lines of its lobby, the exquisite elegance of its suites, and the tranquil yet chic ambience of its restaurant offering a unique plunge into the world of Mediterranean cuisine with its sober decor and delicious food.

But it is for sure thanks to its unique art pieces that the balanced somewhat minimalist interior is so seductive as to become a byword for good taste.

In suites and even simple common areas, you can find pieces of art that are not just beautiful and intricate but which also attest to the unique forward-looking mindset of the hotel’s owner, Marios Polycarpou and emphasise the intended focus of tranquillity and community: the hotel’s art is for sure the best way to bridge different cultures, identities and lifestyles.

Reason number 8: Perpetuate the quest for the green future

The MAP hotel is also a must on a responsible traveller’s bucket list for its huge contribution to sustainable tourism.

In the process of building, the use of recyclables played a key role. Its modern cutting-edge facilities ensure the most frugal use of natural resources like water and set the standard for larger chains and other boutique hotels.

Moreover, its posh restaurant, SCALE, has been trailblazing a path toward more locavore consumption, where only mostly organic ingredients are used, giving homage to local culture and traditional cuisine.

Keep in mind that this boutique hotel in Nicosia by itself is a local landmark thanks to green technologies harnessed in its construction and a sharp focus on sustainability. It is not just partly recycled materials used in its erection but also the eco-conscious use of natural resources that make the hotel a paragon of eco-conscious hospitality.
