What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The in-room aesthetic matches that of the bakery below: sleek and modern, yet warm and approachable, outfitted in earth tones and full of natural light.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Plaka's cobblestone lanes wind just behind the hotel, leading past ceramic workshops and tavernas toward the Acropolis.
The rooms
Sliding wood-and-glass screens divide the living spaces, and rooms come stocked with pastries from the ovens downstairs.
Restaurant

Bakers shape baguettes on linen folds in the open workshop, sliding slow-fermented loaves into ovens behind the street counter.
+2H Rooftop Restaurant
The rooftop terrace looks out across the Athenian skyline, serving sourdough-infused dishes under striped canopies and bulb lights.
At the table
Guests share morning breakfast and fresh sourdough toasts at a wide wooden communal table dressed with dried wheat.
