The Casa Cook Kos opened its doors in Marmari on Kos in 2017. It includes 100 rooms, which range in size from standard double rooms to villa suites. Inspired by the traditional Greek island architecture, Casa Cook Kos has a village-like feel with one- and two-storey cubist houses grouped around gardens and patios.
