New Hotel, Athens, Greece

Golden hour hits the city and New Hotel glows like a gallery—warm wood, sculptural walls, and a hum of clinking glasses drifting up from the street.

With 79 rooms and suites in the heart of Athens, this boutique, design-forward hideaway turns a city stay into a sensorial little ritual: espresso on a balcony, museum mornings, rooftop sunsets with the Acropolis hovering in the distance.

What Makes It Special

• Design-first spaces: sculpted timber walls, playful art pieces, and modern Greek touches
• City-centre location: steps from Syntagma and leafy streets that spill toward Plaka
• Rooftop restaurant/bar with big-sky Athens views—perfect at violet hour
• Small-but-serene spa & gym for post-sightseeing resets
• Breakfast worth lingering over—local honey, sesame koulouri, ripe tomatoes, icy freddos

A Day at New Hotel

Morning

The room smells faintly of cedar and fresh coffee. Breakfast arrives sunny and simple: thick yogurt with thyme honey, warm koulouri, peaches that drip down your wrist. Wander out through streets still cool from the night, past neoclassical facades to catch the Parthenon winking from a distance.

Afternoon

Heat gathers; retreat to the lobby’s artful calm or the petite spa for steam and a lemon-oil shoulder massage. A late lunch of grilled day-catch and crisp salad, then a slow stroll through nearby galleries and design shops.

Evening

Up to the rooftop for golden-hour Athens—stone turns amber, the city softens, a glass of Attica white fogs lightly in your hand.

Night

Back in your room, blackout shades drop, traffic hushes, and the city hum becomes a lullaby.
