A luxury boutique hotel in Lefkara, recognized by MICHELIN for its warm, distinctive hospitality that makes every guest feel at home.
Cyprus, October 20, 2025 . . . The Agora Hotel is proud to announce that it has been awarded a coveted MICHELIN Key, recognizing it among the world’s most exceptional hotels. Much like the MICHELIN Star is to restaurants, the MICHELIN Key is a globally respected symbol of excellence—reserved for properties that deliver an outstanding stay.
The distinction celebrates hotels that excel across five key criteria: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, character and personality, value for price, and a meaningful connection to their surroundings. With this recognition, The Agora joins an esteemed group of destinations celebrated for their design, authenticity, and thoughtful approach to hospitality.
The Michelin Key celebrates what we have always believed: true luxury lies in a sense of belonging.
“To be honest, as a new hotelier, I was genuinely surprised that we achieved this recognition after only two and a half years of opening — but it also feels right," Owner and General Manager - Aleksander Eng. “It’s not a defining achievement, but rather a meaningful pat on the back, affirming that what we work so hard to create every single day is being noticed."
Located in the heart of Lefkara, an ancient mountain village 650 meters above sea level, The Agora Hotel reimagines its heritage as a bustling marketplace into a peaceful retreat. With just 18 rooms, the adults-only boutique property is designed as a place where people feel they belong. True to its name, meaning “a place to gather,” The Agora invites like-minded travelers to connect with the local culture and with one another.
Guests are invited to unwind in Agora’s comfortable and welcoming spaces. At its all-day bistro, Novél, French-inspired Mediterranean seasonal dishes are made for sharing. The menu is complemented by classic cocktails and a curated wine list, offering a refined yet relaxed dining experience.
Just steps away, The Bar offers a cozy, intimate setting, loved by both guests and locals. Conversations flow easily over classic cocktails, surrounded by thoughtful design touches that echo the charm of a New York jazz lounge.
Life at The Agora unfolds at your own pace. Cycle along empty, winding roads, hike through mountain trails and olive groves, join a yoga session, or take your time to explore Lefkara’s cobblestone streets, ancient lace-making traditions, and local wineries.
Every detail at The Agora has been carefully considered to create a space where guests feel both cared for and completely at ease. This quiet attention to comfort and connection reflects the very essence of the MICHELIN Key.
