Corfu Imperial, Greece

Located on an idyllic peninsula on the island of Corfu and set against a backdrop of the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea, the natural beauty of the site sets this hotel apart. Influenced by Corfu’s historic ties to Italy and the Italian Renaissance Garden styles, the hotel juxtaposes elegant modernity with classical charm.

Coopers Hill was engaged in the design and construction of a significant refurbishment of this grand five-star hotel. We provided a dedicated on-site team for two months during construction, assisting in overcoming considerable design challenges to revitalise the arrival experience, gardens, pools, and landscape terraces.

The proposals create a platform to connect with the stunning natural landscape. From the arrival courtyards built around characterful existing olive trees, to a new elegant lower pool perched above the sea, and stylish garden pavilions offering views of the water and the mountains beyond—each element is set amidst the grandeur of Italian-style gardens.
