THE KING
SUITE
The unique suite of La Belle Hélène de Ménélas, where legendary figures from another era once stayed.
WHERE HISTORY
STILL LIVES...
In the historic suite of the main stone building, dating back to 1862, every stay becomes a journey to another era. Behind the old wooden door, the marble features, authentic floors, and distinctive objects that have survived the passage of time - and have been carefully preserved with exceptional personal dedication and deep respect by the Maragos family - the atmosphere of the original La Belle Hélène of Mycenae still lives on.
This very suite once welcomed remarkable figures from world history—archaeologists, writers, poets, researchers, and travellers who came to Mycenae in search of something remarkable, mysterious, and timeless.
Today, this exceptional suite preserves its authentic character, combining historical details from another era with modern amenities and understated luxury. Like every room in the historic building, it bears the names of people who truly stayed here, offering a unique hospitality experience filled with memory, atmosphere, and history.
Jean Paul Sartre & Dillys Powel
The suite of the historic building, bearing the names of Jean-Paul Sartre and Dilys Powell, offers an atmosphere of tranquillity, comfort, and timeless elegance. Here, two remarkable intellectual figures, captivated by Greek civilisation and Mycenae, stayed in a space that has preserved its authentic character to this day. The old wooden floor, marble features, double marble washbasin, and vintage wardrobe create a stay that combines a historic atmosphere with modern comfort. The suite features a period wooden double bed and a sofa that converts into either a single or double bed, a marble bathroom, and two windows overlooking the building's inner stone arcade, creating an exceptionally quiet and sheltered setting. The suite is easily accessible either by lift or via the authentic interior staircase of the historic building.
