Contrasting palettes give every floor its own identity, making this an upbeat, low-touch address for exploring the capital.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its rooms and suites ... are decorated in carefully selected, richly contrasting pairs or trios of colors, which turn its Deco-inspired modern minimalist style into something memorably lively.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The street murals of bohemian Exarcheia sit just north, and Omonia Square is a short walk south.
The rooms
Bold color blocking covers the walls beside curved Deco furniture. Select suites add in-room whirlpool tubs.
At the table
Breakfast brings local Greek produce and barista coffee to cafe tables on the covered deck out front.
How it began
Architects gutted an ordinary commercial office block, replacing the masonry to build the hotel in 2021.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
