Hotel in Greece with Evil Eye Theme Launches!

It's vacation season and guess what? There's a new hotel in Athens, with an oh-so-easy-to-remember name...New Hotel! New Hotel has 79 rooms all furnished by the Campana brothers! They have different themes, one of which being Evil Eyes! We think it's fabulous! What do you think?

New Hotel is primarily a Greek hotel as seen by Brazilian designers. Furnishings in its 79 rooms were designed by the Campana brothers and the collectables in the public areas were purchased personally by the Campana brothers in the city's popular flea markets. All the rooms enjoy the natural light that here, in south-eastern Europe, can leave you breathless. The hotel develops around three themes dear to local tradition and that are featured in the rooms spread over five floors: Karagiozis and friends, old shadow puppets always at odds with everyday occurrences such as having a tooth out at the dentist's, driving a cart to market, talking to fish and chasing dragons...The second theme is that of good and evil, in which the traditional form of the Evil Eye is revisited on a psychedelic note with rear-lit LEDs that form a starry sky on the walls opposite the large beds. Jelly sweets in the same shape on the bedside tables guard against bad luck. The third theme is a poetic set of macro-postcards, slightly retro and touristy ones depicting the history of Magna Graecia and sweeping views of the delightful Peloponnese and Dodecanese islands; this reiterates the now lost custom of sending travel souvenirs, today replaced by short emails and snapshots taken with mobile phones. The postcards, arranged haphazardly on the room walls, also symbolise the unstable progress being made by contemporary Greece, which is slowly lifting itself out of a financial crisis. Art could not, of course, be missing from this treasure chest and it too is by the Campana Brothers.

What is the Hamsa Hand? (Khamsa, Hamesh, Chamsa)

The hamsa is an ancient cultural symbol which represents the Hand of God. In all cultures and religions it is a sign of protection. It brings it's owner happiness, luck, health, and good fortune. You may see the hamsa hand pointing upwards or downwards; both ways bring the owner good luck.

The hamsa hand is known by many names—hamsa, hamsa hand, hamesh, hamesh hand, khamsa, and chamsa. It is also called the Hand of Miriam, named for Moses and Aaron’s sister. There are two main styles of a hamsa hand: the most popular is the stylized hamsa hand with two symmetrical thumbs, but there are also hamsa hands that are not symmetrical and shaped like actual hands.

The hamsa hand has always been associated with a female spirit offering protection from evil and misfortune.

With Kabbalah in fashion, so is the red string bracelet with the tiny hamsa hand and the evil eye, which has brought the hamsa hand symbol back. You can see images of the hamsa hand in recent fashion ads, runways, tattoos, and other popular accessories.
