Athenian Foss
Art Deco meets modern Athens. Velvet headboards, gilded accents, marble bathrooms, and commissioned art from Greek painters. Compact but polished, with a real sense of local character rather than generic international-hotel feel.
Ask for a room with a balcony facing Ermou for street views, but the soundproofed windows mean even these rooms sleep quietly
Why It Matters
One of the few boutique properties in central Athens that leans into local identity — 1970s Athenian aesthetic, Roche Bobois furnishings in the Presidential Suite, Greek-origin bath products, art from Greek painters, and eco-conscious practices. The Greco's Project restaurant on the ground floor pulls in locals, not just hotel guests.
Athenian Foss is a 15-room boutique hotel sitting directly on the pedestrianized Ermou street, right next to the Athens Metropolitan Cathedral. Think marble, velvet, gilded edges, and Art Deco flair across six floors — with the Acropolis a six-minute walk away. No pool, no full spa, but the location is genuinely hard to beat in this city.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Grand Suite
Located on the fifth floor, the Grand Suite is 30sqm with a private balcony delivering strong Athens city views. Marble floors, industrial-style lighting, a 'Dream Well' mattress, and white subway-tiled bathroom with shower cabin. The industrial lighting is a deliberate nod to the neighbourhood's layered history.
King · 30 sqmPresidential Suite
The top-floor showstopper. Forty-five square metres of interior on the 6th floor, plus a 30sqm private terrace with direct views of the Acropolis, Lykavittos Hill, and the Athens Metropolitan Cathedral. Open-plan bedroom and sitting area furnished by Roche Bobois, ebonized hardwood floors, silk drapery, floor-to-ceiling windows, and fine-grain Italian textiles. Private elevator access is a genuine touch of exclusivity.
Ultra King · 45 sqm
Senior Suite
The family-capable option at 40sqm across floors 1–4. A separate living area with a sofa that converts to a double bed means it sleeps up to four. Long private balcony faces Ermou street. 'B&B' Skabo and 'Limitless' ergonomic coffee tables, a marble sink, and a spacious shower cabin.
King (plus sofa bed) · 40 sqm
Standard Suite
The entry-level room at Athenian Foss, located on floors 1–4. Twenty-five square metres that punch above their size thanks to handmade headboards, 'Dream Well' king mattresses, a hand-sculpted wooden desk, Pedrali chairs, and custom mini bar cabinets with inset mirrors. Bathrooms use white subway tiles, a marbled sink, and a proper rain shower.
King · 25 sqm
Superior Suite
Same footprint as the Standard (25sqm, floors 1–4), but with a private balcony overlooking Ermou street and art from Greek painters on the walls. 'Shol' designer lighting, custom furnishings, and dual- or single-exposure windows frame the city and the famous shopping street below.
