Retreat in Athens
Athens, Greece
About this place
We love places with a past and stories to tell. the venue Athens settled into the former Canadian Embassy on a quiet street that overlooks a leafy residential square in Kolonaki. We transformed the handsome corner building with its many balconies in signature the venue style, combining casual, contemporary luxury with mid-century detailing and minimalist Danish design. Located in Kolonaki and housed in the former Canadian Embassy, within 500 metres of Lycabettus Hill and 600 metres of Athens Music Hall, the venue Athens provides accommodation with a restaurant. Offering a fitness centre, the property is located within 600 metres of Museum of Cycladic Art. The property features a terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available. The property also offers a turntable with its own vinyl collection as well as a trolley stocked with premium spirits. Fitted with parquet floor, Marshall speakers and a flat-screen, satellite TV, all elegantly decorated and air-conditioned units in the hotel feature a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer.
