What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The rooms and suites are surprisingly sunny, their clean Bauhaus-like lines softened by a palette of faded gemstone colors.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Step directly into Agia Irini Square, where historic churches and bustling cafe terraces sit moments from the Monastiraki flea market.
The rooms
Custom walnut beds and marble benches ground the rooms, while select suites feature balconies framing views across to the Acropolis.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
On the penthouse terrace, a stone plunge pool looks straight across central Athens toward the Acropolis.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
On the ground floor, Anther serves seasonal Greek dishes and cocktails around a curved marble bar facing the square.
The curved balconies of this Bauhaus landmark overlook the lively café scene on Agia Irini Square, named after the domed church that anchors the piazza.
