Inside, it’s a paean to the 1930s — all moody black marble, grey terrazzo floors and tubular bronze lighting – with dusky-pink sofas, sage-green throws and a dash of modern art to keep things fresh.

Guests have free access to yoga, meditation and martial arts classes at the deeply calming Zen Centre on the first floor. Detox with sliders and a spritz at the all-day restaurant downstairs, a prime perch for people-watching.

With a savvy concierge to help navigate the surrounding bars, markets, and galleries, and the Acropolis just overhead, this is a smart base for exploring both ancient and modern Athens. {Booking now here}
