About Future Hotels

A small team. An international mission.

Our Story

Future Hotels started in Athens, in a country that has always understood the trade-off between tourism and the places tourism depends on.

We built the company at the intersection of three things we couldn't find together anywhere else: hospitality people who understand what makes a hotel unforgettable, technologists who understand how to make sustainability measurable rather than promotional, and a stubborn belief that independent hotels, not massive chains, are the ones with the speed and the will to actually change how travel works. Small, deliberately. International, from day one.

Founder & CEO

Sotiris Kopatsaris

As Managing Director of Carpe Diem Santorini, an independent hotel, Sotiris watched OTA commissions, chain-scale marketing budgets and rising costs quietly punish the hotels doing things right, the ones investing in their guests, their staff and their island, without the negotiating power of a global brand behind them.

Independence shouldn't be a disadvantage. Future Hotels exists to make sure it isn't, giving independent hotels the reach, the systems and the collective voice of a chain, without asking them to become one. Sotiris has presented Future Hotels at the EU's SME Assembly, with the support of Prince's Trust International.
