NEW TREND: Thessaloniki’s trendsetting hotels bring style to Athens scene!
December 4, 2023
Although we find it natural for a successful brand to launch in Athens and afterwards expand to the rest of Greece, however, it is possible that a successful recipe has the exact opposite course.
Thus, the number of hotel brands that initially excelled in Thessaloniki, before taking the decision to move over to the capital, is constantly increasing. Of course, she welcoms them with open arms. Besides, Athens is the main destination for the majority of travelers arriving in our country, throughout the year. Therefore, it is to be expected that a hotel group would want to have a strong presence there, as well!
The well-known Colors, which initiated in 2011 as the Colors Thessaloniki Living hostel on Valaoritou and was later introduced to us as a 4* hotel in Ladadika and on Tsimiski, was the first small independent hotel chain to open its wings for Athens. Hence, Colors Hotel Athens is centrally situated on Benaki str., where it offers luxurious accomodation at affordable prices.

Next was the innovative project of Ergon, who excelled with the unique Ergon deli-grocery in the center of Thessaloniki since 2011, and after traveling to London, turned to the domestic market. Therefore you will find the first Foodie Boutique Hotel, in the name of Ergon House Athens, on Mitropoleos street, very close to the Acropolis and Plaka.
Another outstanding arrival in the capital, is The Modernist Athens, descendant of The Modernist Thessaloniki that has been impressing the visitors of Thessaloniki since 2018 with its own special concept. The Modernist Athens, a quiet and cool oasis, can be found on Gennadiou str. in the historical centre of the city, and combines casual, contemporary luxury with mid-century detailing.
The list goes on and the word is that the well-known Onoma Thessaloniki has set its sights on Athens and is expected to present its own successful concept on Sygrou Avenue, sometime during 2024.
