The Transformation of Berengaria Hotel in Prodromos Continues

An overview of current progress

The repair and renovation works at Cyprus’s most historic mountain resort, the Berengaria Hotel in Prodromos, are currently in full swing, led by the well-known residential and commercial developer BBF, which has undertaken the mission to restore the once-called "Jewel of Prodromos” to its former glory by the end of 2027.

In a recent statement, Mr. Andronikos Spyrou, Project Manager at BBF overseeing the Berengaria project, briefly outlined the timeline of the renovation works:

“The renovation of the Berengaria Hotel began with the first phase of emergency repair and maintenance works, which commenced in October 2021 and was completed in June 2022. The second phase of emergency repair and maintenance started in April 2023 and was completed in December 2023.

We are currently in the third phase of renovation works, which began in June 2024 and is expected to be completed by May 2025. The project’s overall completion is anticipated at the end of the fourth and final phase, which we estimate will take place between June 2025 and the end of 2027.”

“All relevant procedures and works for the full renovation that preserves the listed status of the Berengaria Hotel are progressing according to this schedule,” Mr. Spyrou added.

To date, the completed works include the thorough cleaning and maintenance of the entire building’s stone facade, which were carried out during the first and second phases of the emergency repairs. In addition, all necessary repairs of damaged stone joints on the existing concrete structures – both inside and outside the building – as well as concrete reinforcements, where required, for the structural strengthening of the listed building were also completed.  

Meanwhile, the period from early 2024 to the end of May was dedicated to finalizing all architectural and structural studies. 

Third phase works currently underway involve the removal of the existing sloping roof, which covers approximately 1500 square meters, and its replacement with a new one, based on the original sloping roof and using French-style tiles as specified by the Town Planning & Housing Department.

The current phase also includes the completion of all concrete works inside the listed building.

The head of the Prodromos Community Council, Mr. Neophytos Neophytou, stated:

“The listed Berengaria Hotel is a testament to our island's cultural heritage. Here at the Prodromos Community, we are proud to see this ambitious project move forward and come to fruition. As a result of the positive cooperation with the relevant official authorities, the building’s listed status is preserved with the renovation progressing in line with the conservation sector guidelines.

The reopening of the Berengaria Hotel in Prodromos will mark a significant milestone in the broader effort to revitalize Cyprus' mountain villages, and we look forward to it with optimism.”

Once completed, the highly anticipated project undertaken by BBF aims to restore the hotel to its former glory, with modern, high-standard amenities. It is expected to become a landmark site and attractive mountain destination, enhancing the quality of Cyprus’s touristic product. Carefully integrated into a uniquely lush and idyllic mountain landscape, and operating with respect and in harmony with its surrounding environment, the hotel will offer unique experiences of relaxation and enjoyment to its visitors, every season of the year.
