Overlooking the church of Agios Dimitrios, the hotel sits among the artisan workshops, lively bars, and tavernas of Psirri.

The spa
The subterranean spa offers body treatments with Greek essential oils, a marble hammam, and a Finnish wooden sauna.
At the table
Breakfast is served in the ground-floor lounge, where made-to-order strapatsada and Cretan pastries arrive beneath arched ceilings.
A 19th-century mansion that has been faithfully restored without slipping into historical pastiche, Monument combines the intimacy of a guesthouse with the luxury of space and privacy.
How it began
Built in 1881 for merchant Efstathios Stathopoulos, the abandoned neoclassical residence underwent a meticulous restoration overseen by the Ministry of Culture.
