The Foundry Suites Athens
Industrial-chic meets mid-century modern. Exposed stone and brick walls, large steel-framed windows, hardwood and terrazzo floors, and earthy tones broken up by vintage furniture, gear-based window mechanisms, and custom light fixtures. The entrance is marked by a wall of antique books and a cistern converted into a wine cellar under a glass ceiling. Hip but not try-hard.

Why It Matters
Listed on Tablet Hotels. The building's layered history is genuinely woven into the design — not just marketing copy. No two of the 12 suites are the same, every unit has a fully equipped kitchen, and the Acropolis-view rooftop with sourdough pizza and local Greek wines is one of the better hotel terraces in Athens at any price point.
The Foundry is a 12-suite boutique hotel occupying a 1930s building in Athens's Psyrri district that has lived several lives — type foundry, printing house, cultural center. Today it's one of the most design-forward places to sleep in central Athens. Each suite is completely different: some open onto private garden patios at ground level, others are double-height lofts with floating staircases, and one second-floor unit comes with a private veranda that frames the Acropolis. The rooftop Picnic Garden, planted with olive and pomegranate trees in minimalist Danish style, serves sourdough pizzas and Greek wines in spring and summer with the Parthenon as the backdrop.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Apartment A0
Ground-floor urban residence for up to 4 guests. Open-plan living and dining with fully functional kitchen, high ceilings with exposed brick and striking stone walls. The master bedroom has a workspace and Greek marble bathroom. Private garden patio with terrazzo sitting area. Two standout features: a grand piano and a wood-burning stove — rare finds in a city-center suite.
King or twin (Coco-mat), plus double sofa bed · 55 sqmApartment B0
Ground-floor suite for up to 2 guests across 50 sqm. Like the A0 it opens onto a private garden or patio. Fully equipped kitchen, en-suite bathroom with complimentary Zealots of Nature amenities, and the same industrial-chic aesthetic running through the whole property.
Double (Coco-mat) · 50 sqmApartment C1
First-floor, double-height ceiling suite split across two levels with an open-plan loft area. Accommodates up to 3 guests. The soaring ceilings and split-level layout make this one of the more dramatic rooms in the collection.
Double (Coco-mat), plus sofa bed · 45 sqmApartment D1
Compact first-floor suite for up to 2 guests. High ceilings keep it from feeling small. Same finishes as the rest of the collection — steel-framed windows, hardwood floors, Zealots of Nature toiletries, and a Nespresso machine.
Double (Coco-mat) · 35 sqmApartment E1
First-floor loft for up to 3 guests with double-height ceilings and an open mezzanine bedroom level. Features a colorful bathroom, workspace, and the full kitchen setup. Similar layout to F1.
Double (Coco-mat) · 35 sqmApartment F1
Mirror to E1 — first-floor loft suite for up to 3 guests with double-height ceilings, open-space loft bedroom, colorful bathroom, and workspace. Same complete kitchen and amenity kit.
Double (Coco-mat) · 35 sqmApartment G1
First-floor suite with double-height ceilings for up to 4 guests. At 50 sqm it offers more space than the D/E/F units and suits small groups or families wanting that extra room to spread out.
Double(s) (Coco-mat) · 50 sqmApartment H1
The largest first-floor suite at 60 sqm, accommodating up to 4 guests. Impressive high ceilings and strong industrial character. A spacious, fully-equipped living area in the heart of the Psyrri district.
Double(s) (Coco-mat) · 60 sqmApartment I2
The most compact unit in the collection — a 25 sqm second-floor studio for 2 guests. Sleek industrial aesthetics, high-end amenities, and the same Coco-mat and Zealots of Nature kit as the bigger suites. Good value entry point for the property.
Double (Coco-mat) · 25 sqmApartment J2
Second-floor suite for up to 2 guests across 30 sqm. Step up from I2 with a bit more space, same design language.
Double (Coco-mat) · 30 sqmApartment K2
The most architecturally inventive room in the building. At 65 sqm on the second floor, it fits 4 guests across a clever split-level layout: a wooden 'box' structure separates the two bedrooms from the open-plan living area. The elevated bedroom has triple sliding panel doors overlooking the living space below; the lower bedroom has its own en-suite. There's a piano, original vintage furniture, marble countertops, and gear-based steel window mechanisms throughout.
Two doubles (Coco-mat) · 65 sqmApartment L2
The showpiece suite. Interior is 60 sqm with an additional 13.5 sqm private veranda clad in Byzantine-inspired marble flooring with a vertical garden facade — and a direct, unobstructed Acropolis view. Two levels: upper loft bedroom with Coco-mat King or twin beds and a contemporary sunken bathtub en-suite; lower level has the main living space, fully equipped kitchen, dining table, and a master bedroom with a double canopy bed and en-suite shower. Mid-century modern styling with corten steel details and vintage furnishings.
