Located in a quiet alley in Kolonaki, Monsieur Didot is a unique boutique hotel housed in a neoclassical mansion of truly outstanding beauty!
This beautiful boutique hotel is characterized by modern touches blended seamlessly with the historical identity of the building. Among its highlights is the awarded design, offering a home-away-from-home feeling in a setting of effortless beauty.
In fact Monsieur Didot revives and revitalises a listed neoclassical building, one that is a bright example of the late neoclassical architecture of the beginning of the 20th century.
BUT WHO IS THE MYSTERIOUS GENTLEMEN MONSIEUR DIDOT?
Whilst paying homage to the building’s classical character and bringing its historical elements to the fore, the home’s interiors have been enriched with contemporary touches and trends, the guests to experience its modern heart alongside its deep rooted heritage. For that reason the concept behind the building’s revival went hand in hand with a deep respect of its unique character and a renegotiation of its neoclassical elements.
Traditional methods and techniques and natural materials were carefully selected for the restoration, including mortar for walls, natural wood for furniture and floors, whilst marble, clay and plaster have been applied as decorative details.
In combination with the revelation of the old decorative paintings exhibited throughout the interior walls, the building reveals its soul to offer a truly boutique living experience.
Besides, the design objective was to bring a feeling of discreet enthusiasm to the visitors. Bookcases, interesting prints and paintings by famous as well as emerging or unknown artists sweep through the building. In addition, unique pendants, handmade ceramic lamps, decorative elements and furniture designed exclusively for Monsieur Didot create a unique encounter in each and every space of the building, enriched by contrast and a multitude of styles and colours.
