What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This is, as the name suggests, an utterly modern boutique hotel of the high-design variety; its 38 rooms and suites are decked out in handsome grays and neutrals.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Antigonidon Square sits just outside, and the ancient Roman Forum ruins and Aristotelous Square are a short walk away.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature clean monochrome palettes, solid hardwood floors, and pale marble bathrooms.
Restaurant
A Bistro
Marble tables sit beside preserved moss walls, with transparent floor panels looking straight down onto illuminated Roman masonry.
At the table
Wine is poured at the marble bar inside, and the seventh-floor rooftop terrace serves champagne across daybeds overlooking the city.
How it began
Architects reinforced the 1931 listed structure in 2018, crowning the four restored floors with two modern glass levels.
