The Modernist Athens

With its recent influx of creatives, Greece’s capital is leaning into its ‘hipstorical’ reputation and the Modernist Athens reflects this artsy dynamism while instilling a true sense of place. The former Candian embassy has been given a sultry paint job and its interiors sleekened with anthracite timber, black marble, brass and polished concrete, plus simple-yet-striking Scandi furnishings. Throughout, modern Athenian artists and makers have their wares (ceramics, handcrafted stationery, custom tea blends) displayed, mixologist Nikos Bakoulis from renowned bar the Clumsies has conceived the cocktails, and Grecian DJ Palov sets the tone with curated playlists. Admire the Acropolis from the rooftop terrace or one of the balconies (most of the size-order-arranged rooms have one) and enjoy a city pad that won’t deplete your Euros. It may eschew the style of the ancients, but it’s a stay set to become a future classic.

The Modernist Athens sits at the foot of Mount Lycabettus in the lively upscale neighborhood of Kolonaki, surrounded by the most important ancient Greek monuments.
