Hollywood Finds Home in Spetses & the Poseidonion Grand Hotel

Since 2020, two high-profile international film productions have taken place in and around the Poseidonion Grand Hotel: Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Murder Mystery and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter.

 

Since its genesis, the Poseidonion Grand Hotel has been a champion of the cultural and artistic landscape of Spetses. This was demonstrated in 2021 with the hotel welcoming the cast and crew of Glass Onion (2022), now streaming on Netflix. Filmed partially on Spetses and in the Poseidonion Grand Hotel, the latest edition in director Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series has been met with universal acclaim and two nominations at the 80th Golden Globe Awards.

 

Glass Onion joins the ranks of other recent Hollywood releases that have made Spetses their backdrop, such as the highly acclaimed psychological drama The Lost Daughter (2021). Featuring principal photography in Dapia Port, Zogeria Beach, Kounoupitsa and the grand interiors of the Poseidonion Grand Hotel, The Lost Daughter shared Spetses’ stunning architecture, beautiful nature and unique character with the world. Following an Avant-premiere at Spetses’ own Ciné Titania, the film received three nominations at the 94th Academy Awards.

 

Having welcomed the productions of both Glass Onion and The Lost Daughter, the hotel hosted the inaugural edition of the Production Designers Gathering by the Production Designers Collective. During this 4-day event, 260 participants from around the globe met on the island of Spetses to exchange ideas, discuss techniques, share unique stories and create strong bonds with one another.

 

Together, these two releases are indicative of Spetses’ emergence as the focal point of Greece’s burgeoning international film scene. The Poseidonion Grand Hotel is proud to be a part of this movement, one that serves to shine the light of Spetses across the world.
