What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Designed by the Athens-based architectural duo George Gavalas and Giannis Mourikis, this eleven-suite boutique hotel is a modernist escape showcasing a thoughtfully curated collection of Greek artwork and ephemera.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The residential streets of Mets stay remarkably calm, with local tavernas and the marble Panathenaic Stadium just an easy stroll away.
The rooms
Acropolis View suites look straight toward the Parthenon from the bed, and select terraces hold private outdoor jetted pools.
The rooftop plunge pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop plunge pool sits beneath a woven reed pergola, looking out across Athens to the Acropolis.
How it began
Architectural scenographers George Gavalas and Giannis Mourikis opened the dark-metal retreat in 2023 after a quarter-century of creative collaboration.
