Periscope - A design-focused Athens hotel with panoramic city views in upscale Kolonaki
Located in the exclusive Kolonaki district, Periscope features 21 rooms adorned with commissioned aerial photography and urban-themed artwork. The modernist 1950s building houses soundproofed accommodations with wooden floors, glass-enclosed showers, and plexiglass light box installations displaying panoramic Athens imagery. The Art Lounge serves cocktails alongside city views, while the mezzanine level contains meeting facilities dubbed the 'Workshop Floor.' This Athens hotel places guests within a 10-minute walk of Evangelismos and Syntagma metro stations, the Greek Parliament, and the National Gardens. The Periscope's central location provides access to the Benaki Museum, Cycladic Museum, and Byzantine Museum, while the Monastiraki, Plaka, and Acropolis neighborhoods lie within a 20-minute walk.

“In Kolonaki, this boutique property stands out for its modern take on urban luxury, combined with a dedication to guest service. I appreciate its location in an upscale area near excellent restaurants and shops, plus the hotel's focus on incorporating art into its design, as well as perks like all-day refreshments, which elevates the experience. I think this could be an ideal base for travelers looking to explore Athens with a bit of style.”
