Restored stone sanctum
Restored stone walls enclose a 500-square-meter courtyard planted with olive trees and herbs around an open-air swimming pool.
“Set around a central courtyard with a swimming pool, olive trees, and fragrant herbs, this historic stone building feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
it’s home to the character-filled NOT Hotel. The name is an acronym — NOT stands for No Ordinary Things — an apt description of the eclectic project, its carefully restored interiors enlivened by glamorous 1920s-inspired details.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in Gazi beside the industrial chimneys of Technopolis, vibrant nightlife and Kerameikos metro station are steps away.
The rooms
Rooms combine original stone masonry with Coco-Mat sleeping systems, 1920s vintage accents, and walk-in showers finished in Naxos marble.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The year-round pool sits in the stone courtyard, lined with green loungers, cafe tables, and potted citrus.
The gym
French doors open poolside from the gym, which is equipped with manual treadmills and non-electric wooden machines.
At the table
Artemis serves home-style Mediterranean recipes cooked with estate olive oil, poured alongside Greek vineyard wines.
How it began
The centuries-old stone building has lived many lives, operating across decades as a brothel, military barracks, agricultural barn, and film studio.
