An industrial building turns into an urban artistic boutique hotel in the heart of the bohemian Psirri.

LOCATION

The hotel is situated in the heart of the vibrant district of Psirri, in a tiny alley where one of the most traditional and cult Athenian neighborhoods meets the modern vibes of the city. Within short distance you can find some of the most important sights of the capital, such as the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, Plaka and Monastiraki. The Monastiraki Metro station is also very close to the hotel, making access to every part of Athens particularly easy.

DESIGN

In the past, there was a period when the building operated as an artist hub and joint space that used to have their ateliers on its floors. After that time, it housed graffiti artists. Νοwadays, each floor and every space offers a surrealist atmosphere with touches of ancient Athens. The result is that feels like a small, well-directed scenery that has its οwn story and makes you want to join the plot. What makes this place stand out is the fact in its inner spaces, every element has remained intact, from, the staircases to the marbles and the mosaic floors. It is different in a revolutionary way, with its urban aesthetics being combined with an industrial style characterized by simplicity and clean lines. The Artist, a creation of its owner Panagiotis Soulis (an actor and civil engineer) gives off a bohemian-chic air, mixed with industrial zen and cosmopolitan notes!
