What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Margi, an 88-room hotel that’s as clear an exemplar of the luxury-boutique genre as you’re likely to find on these shores.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Coastal coves sit a short stroll away, and the warm mineral waters of Lake Vouliagmeni are twenty minutes on foot.

The rooms
Handcrafted furnishings sit against soft neutral palettes, and selected rooms open directly onto private balconies or patios.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Floating wooden daybeds line the outdoor courtyard pool, and a heated pool rests inside the spa.
The spa and gym
Wood-slatted corridors lead to treatment rooms and a Turkish hammam. Nearby, the wood-paneled fitness studio overlooks the pine forest.

How it began

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
