New boutique hotel opens in central Nicosia

The Leonardo Boutique Hotel Venetian Nicosia, a new 71-suite property, has officially opened in the heart of the Cypriot capital. The hotel occupies the former Makis Anastasiades clinic, a notable building from the 1980s that has been renovated by local entrepreneurs Yiorgos Hadjiminas and Yiannos Kasoulides. The facility is now operated by Leonardo Hotels and Resorts, a member of the Fattal Group, and features amenities including restaurants, bars, and a gym.

The Fattal Group is simultaneously expanding its footprint in Nicosia with the construction of a second hotel, the NYX Hotel Nicosia, located nearby on Makarios Avenue. This second development replaces the former Laiki Bank building, which was demolished to make way for the new multi-storey urban project. These investments mark a significant transformation of historic and iconic structures in the city center into modern hospitality venues.

The conversion of the Anastasiades clinic is complete, contributing to the growth of hotel infrastructure in the densely built downtown area. Work on the NYX Hotel Nicosia is currently ongoing, continuing the group's efforts to increase its presence within the capital's historic nucleus.
