The Ixian Grand traces its origins to a 1960s-era seaside manor on Rhodes' northern coast, meticulously restored in 2012 to preserve its period architecture while introducing contemporary luxury. The hotel maintains 47 guest rooms across its restored wings, commanding views of the Aegean from El. Venizelou in Ialisos.
