Jim Allen, the Chairman and CEO of Hard Rock International, has unveiled two new donations from Greek music artists to Hard Rock’s music memorabilia collection. The first one is a handwritten orchestral score of the renowned Greek songwriter and composer Mikis Thedorakis, from the work “Refusal.” The second donation is the beloved chaplet of Grigoris Bithikotsis.
Hard Rock International officially announced the company’s participation in the Greek Government’s RFP process to issue a license for an integrated resort and casino at the former Hellinikon Airport site in the historic city of Athens, Greece.
“We have always believed Athens to be one of the world’s great gateway cities and Hard Rock International envisions creating a must see destination that will help draw from the over 120m annual guests across 74 countries, driving year-round tourism and being an economic driver for Greece. This marks another step in the Company’s efforts to expand our world-class brand of entertainment and hospitality to Europe,” Jim Allen said.
The announcement follows over a year and a half of work on the project and if awarded, construction for the project is estimated to take 24–26 months.
“This announcement continues to illustrate Hard Rock’s commitment to Greece and the great city of Athens following our investment in the Company owned Athens Cafe when no one else was investing during the financial crisis in 2014,” Jim Allen added.
