Athen’s New Hotel is part of the hotel group YES! This stands for Young, Enthusiastic and Seductive, and it doesn’t disappoint. It has a provocative approach to interior design and hospitality. The hotel lobby is like no other, bedazzling you upon entry with decorative walls and columns based on reclaimed wood designed by Fernando and Humberto Campana. The award-winning Brazilian brothers were commissioned to transform the space due to their eco-sensitive ethos and contemporary handicraft practices while giving a nod to local life and expressions.
NEW hotel boasts 79 rooms in total, and the public spaces that connect throughout encompass elements from the former Olympic Palace Hotel. The interior design is astounding and a real talking piece. If you look hard enough, there are pockets of surprises, such as the keys and handles in the reclaimed wooden structures and art in the lobby and bedroom mirrors. Located on Filellinon Street, the design hotel is within walking distance of the city’s main attractions and plenty of traditional and upcoming bars and restaurants. The Acropolis, for example, is a short stroll from the hotel.
