Nestled in the heart of Athens, Asomaton stands as a testament to the city’s rich history and vibrant culture.
Just steps away from iconic landmarks and bustling neighborhoods, this boutique hotel in Thissio offers a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary luxury.
Originally constructed over a century ago as a humble carriage wheel repair shop, the building evolved into an elegant townhouse before falling into disuse for the past two decades. However, in 2017, a new chapter began. A journey to breathe new life into this historic building, in collaboration with the Greek Ministry of Culture.
The transformation of Asomaton has been a labor of love, preserving the building’s historical essence while infusing it with modern amenities and design elements. The original stone façade, weathered by time, has been meticulously restored, offering a glimpse into the past. At the same time welcomes guests into a world of comfort and sophistication.
One of the most striking features of Asomaton is the addition of an indoor swimming pool, an oasis amidst the bustling streets of Athens. Here, guests can unwind and rejuvenate, surrounded by the tranquil ambiance of the hotel’s interior.
