AthensWas was created to delight visitors who want to experience Athens' tranquil, attractive side, in what has been the heart of the city since ancient times.AthensWas is a hotel which literally lives in the city’s history and enjoys it with an “epicurean composure” all of its own. But the hotel is also representative of the most contemporary and international side of the Greek capital, which looks ahead to the future with unbridled optimism.AthensWas is a Design HotelTM and it is designed in line with the core principles of classical modernism. The aesthetic of its rooms and communal spaces is defined by clean, uncluttered lines and natural materials—chiefly Greek marble and wood. Still, it leaves the eye with an impression which dances clear of the pretentious, gracing the luxury with delightfully deft touches which can often be described as playful. The end result is warm spaces in which the visitor feels utterly at home from the moment they walk through the door—the best possible recipe for a calm and restful stay.
Logements
Every room has a veranda from which our guests can enjoy one of the most wonderful aspects of Athenian life: the pleasure of relaxing outdoors.Designed by the celebrated Greek design practice, the rooms, suites and entire interior of the AthensWas hotel stand out for their clear, vibrant and integrated aesthetic which charms with its cohesion and uncontrived dedication to luxury. That AthensWas does not suffer from the white noise generated by a stylistic mélange gives the hotel a significant comparative advantage.The refined aesthetic of AthensWas stems from a single stylistic axiom rooted in the core principles of classical modernism, and this contributes to the sense of inner peace which imbues its spaces and makes spending time in its spaces a joyous experience.
