What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The building has been meticulously restored along the way to its present life as a boutique hotel, and treated with all the reverence it deserves, and then some.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The entrance sits opposite the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the pedestrian alleys of Plaka are just a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms have parquet floors and marble rainfall showers, while front-facing suites look directly out at the Acropolis.
Restaurant
The Zillers Rooftop Gastronomy
The Michelin-starred rooftop serves Greek tasting menus made with produce from the hotel farm, set directly before the Acropolis.
At the table
The indoor bar serves cocktails and Greek wines across a green marble counter beside a living plant wall.
How it began
The townhouse was a private family home until the 1960s, surviving decades of commercial use before reopening in 2016.
