Athenswas Design Hotel - A 5-star boutique property with rooftop Michelin-plate dining and direct Acropolis views
Located on historic Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, this 5-star Athens hotel features a Michelin-plate awarded rooftop restaurant serving modern Greek cuisine with panoramic Acropolis views. The marble and walnut-clad rooms include Italian designer furnishings, soundproofing, and private balconies. Two distinct dining venues include SENSE Restaurant offering boundary-pushing Greek dishes and MODERN Eatery providing comfort food with indoor and outdoor seating. A fitness center equipped with Technogym machines offers personal training options in both indoor and outdoor settings. The property sits 5 minutes from Akropoli metro station, 984.3 ft from the Acropolis Museum, and 0.5 miles from Monastiraki. Athenswas Design Hotel occupies a prime position for exploring both ancient monuments and the modern Koukaki neighborhood's cafes and tavernas.
Pros
The rooftop restaurant serves innovative dishes like scorpion fish balls with sea urchin and ouzo foam
Homemade a la carte breakfast includes fresh-baked goods and local thyme honey
Personal training available in the National Garden
Three distinct dining areas at MODERN, including a plant-filled patio
Cons
21.5 miles distance from Eleftherios Venizelos Airport
Some rooms face the internal courtyard rather than city views
“What stands out is its prime location on the most scenic pedestrian street in Athens. The rooftop restaurant, awarded a Michelin plate, offers modern Greek cuisine with views of the Acropolis, though I'd suggest checking if balcony lights might affect your sleep, depending on your room.”
