# Sea Captain Hotels This All-White Converted Hotel Was a 19th Century Sea Captain's Home By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-10-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converted-hotel References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/patsios-architecture-cave-suite?context=featured) & [sea-captains-house](http://www.sea-captains-house.com/) This Greek converted hotel features a stunning design and is located by the beautiful shore of the Santorini coast. The '1864 -- The Sea Captain's House' captivates the imagination of travelers, drawing visitors in with a story behind the buildings. While based on a [19th century structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palazzo-daniele-suites), the 'Cave Suite' feels anything but dilapidated or outdated. The all-white design surrounds people with a bright, almost heavenly space -- the lack of windows is almost unapparent. Much of the furniture is white as well, with crystal clear lights hanging from the ceiling and a select number of wooden furnishings sprinkled around the rooms. Renovated by PATSIOS Architecture, the converted hotel space is ideal for two, with an incredible deep soaking bathtub that appears to be built into the marble ground as a finishing touch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **All-white Design:** Opportunity for interior design companies to create minimalist and bright spaces with a focus on texture and lighting. - **Converted Hotels:** Opportunity for property owners to repurpose historical buildings into unique travel destinations that tell engaging stories. - **Soaking Tubs:** Opportunity for bathroom fixture companies to create luxurious, built-in tubs that become a centerpiece of the bathroom design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** The all-white design trend presents an opportunity for interior design companies to repurpose historical buildings into beautiful spaces with bright, minimalist design. - **Hospitality:** Converted hotel spaces such as the '1864 - The Sea Captain's House' provides property owners with an opportunity to create unique experiences for travelers by repurposing historical buildings into travel destinations with engaging stories. - **Bathroom Fixtures:** Opportunity for bathroom fixture companies to create luxurious and built-in soaking tubs that become a centerpiece of the bathroom design for hospitality spaces such as '1864 - The Sea Captain's House.' ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wine Cellar-Converted Summer Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-house-in-mesaria.md) - [Nautical Themed Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-containers.md) - [Intimate Artful Historic Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hevresac-hotel.md) - [Retro Surf-Nostalgic Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-sea.md) - [Restored Historic Cliffside Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borgo-santandrea.md) - [Greece-Inspired Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-palm.md) - [Textural Greek Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southwand-house.md) - [Authentic Family-Owned Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canaves-collection.md) - [Local Stone-Made Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drakoni-house.md)
