ΑTHENS URBAN HOTELS is a concept born in 2018 through social media, for the sole purpose to showcase the small hotels that have popped up over the last years, mainly in the centre of Athens.
Their strong presence, among many features, enriches the hotel map of the country, and has also started to change the urban landscape of the capital, not only by making Athens a more beautiful place, but also by giving life to amazing mansions that had remained abandoned for many years, especially with the establishment of newest hotels.
For us, ATHENS URBAN HOTELS is much more than offering accommodation options. It is a way to promote Athens and establish it as a European city break all year round.
The brand-new website of ATHENS URBAN HOTELS is not just an ordinary hotel directory, but a modern hotel blog that aims to introduce the small gems of Athens to potential guests, through the personal angle of experienced journalists, making the idea of travel inspiration more powerful.
But what about hotel classification? The truth is, that the boundaries between a hotel in the traditional sense and an hybrid new-age accommodation in a rent-apartments style offering hotel amenities, are hard to distinguish. This is why we have paid great attention to the substance of accommodation without adhering to the standard stars and classes.
Through our year-long involvement in travel reports, and also by living the guest experience offered by each of our members ourselves, we highlight their strong features, making the final decision before booking easier for you.

Besides, accommodation is a matter of personal preference and the priorities set for the final choice are different for everyone.
For this reason, and even in this growth of small hotels, we are proud to have managed to distinguish the unique elements covering the different guest needs.
Regardless of whether they are characterized by their authenticity, design, architecture, service, location, view or breakfast, and whether they feature restaurants, rooftops, pools and spas or not, every hotel member of the ATHENS URBAN HOTELS portfolio, has its own, special story to tell… The story that will now become your own unique memory…
