Monastik Living in Athina
Monastic minimalism meets contemporary Greek design. Dark palette of greys and warm woods, hand-curated artwork, individually decorated suites, collectible design objects. Quiet and intimate — the name literally means 'alone' in Greek.
Book any suite with 'Acropolis View' in the name — the rooms without that designation face the city or Filopappou hill, which are perfectly good but miss the main event
Why It Matters
Designed by a respected Athenian architectural duo and opened in 2024, Monastik offers some of the most direct, unobstructed Acropolis views you'll find in a boutique property. The signature floor-to-ceiling glass wall in each suite frames the Parthenon like a living painting. The top-tier Acropolis View Supreme Suite adds a private outdoor mini jetted pool on its terrace — facing the monument.
Opened in 2024, Monastik Living in Athina is an eleven-suite boutique hotel in the hillside Mets neighbourhood, designed by Athens-based architectural duo George Gavalas and Giannis Mourikis. The exterior is intentionally low-key — a dark-grey glass-fronted building that barely signals what's inside. Step through and the suites open up with floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing the Acropolis. No restaurant, no bar, no spa. That's the whole point.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Acropolis View Deluxe Suite
A generous 40sqm Acropolis-facing suite that sleeps 2–4. The floor-to-ceiling glass wall delivers a direct sightline to the Parthenon. One of the best-value entry points into the Acropolis view category given the larger footprint.
King · 40 sqmAcropolis View Penthouse Suite
32sqm penthouse for 2 guests only — the most intimate of the Acropolis-view suites. What makes it special is the outdoor terrace with a lounge and dining area, so you get that Acropolis vista alfresco. No jetted pool on the terrace, but the setting is hard to beat for a couple.
King · 32 sqmAcropolis View Premium Suite
33sqm Acropolis-facing suite for 2–3 guests. Steps up the design detail from the Deluxe, with the same signature glass wall framing the monument. A slightly more intimate scale than the Deluxe while maintaining the direct Acropolis sightline.
King · 33 sqmAcropolis View Supreme Suite with Outdoor Mini Jetted Pool
The hotel's flagship at 40sqm. Everything the other Acropolis suites have, plus a private outdoor terrace with a mini jetted pool positioned for direct Acropolis views — you literally soak with the Parthenon in front of you. Sleeps 2–4. This is the one reviewers rave about most.
King · 40 sqm
City View Suite
The entry-level option at 28sqm. Floor-to-ceiling glass wall faces the Athens cityscape rather than the Acropolis. Still individually decorated with the same dark-wood and neutral-palette design language as the rest of the hotel. Fits 2–3 guests.
King · 28 sqmCorner City View Suite
At 35sqm, one of the more spacious non-Acropolis suites. Corner positioning means panoramic city views through the floor-to-ceiling glass wall. Can accommodate 2–4 guests, making it a practical pick for small groups or families.
King · 35 sqmFilopappou View Deluxe Suite
31sqm suite facing Filopappou Hill rather than the Acropolis. Still a significant landmark — the hill holds the Monument of Philopappos and has great walks — but guests wanting the Parthenon view should look elsewhere. Fits 2–3 guests.
