Discover Athens’ Hidden Gem: The Residence Aiolou

Nestled in the heart of Athens, The Residence Aiolou Hotel & Spa stands as a beacon of modern elegance and timeless charm. Set in two beautifully contrasting buildings – a restored Neoclassical mansion and a sleek contemporary structure – this luxury hotel breathes new life into the historic Plaka district. The seamless blend of the old and the new creates a refined sanctuary for the astute traveller.

 

"A modern sanctuary in the heart of Athens, where history and elegance meet."

 

Step into the inviting lobby, where a lounge-style ambience sets the scene. Tasteful furnishings, book-lined alcoves, and gleaming bronze accents create a sense of refined comfort. A grand ceiling mirror reflects the chic terracotta-tiled columns, adding a touch of grandeur. The seamless flow from the lobby into 'The Frenchies' bistro completes the inviting atmosphere.

A Modern Retreat in the Plaka District

The Residence Aiolou, a sister property to The Residence Christokopidou Hotel & Spa, caters to the modern traveller seeking an intimate escape in the heart of a bustling city. The minimalist aesthetic throughout the hotel creates a serene environment, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the vibrant city. Each room and suite boasts a private balcony, offering captivating vistas of the historic centre. For those seeking an extra touch of grandeur, some suites even present breath-taking views of the Parthenon.

Culinary Delights at The Frenchies

The Frenchies bistro is a haven for the senses. Indulge in delectable Mediterranean tapas, each dish a masterpiece crafted by esteemed chef Dimitris Drivakos. Complement your meal with a carefully curated selection of wines, ensuring a truly unforgettable dining experience.

A Street Steeped in History

The hotel's location on Aiolou Street (Οδός Αιόλου) adds another layer of intrigue to your stay. This historic street, named after Aeolus, the Greek god of the winds, graces downtown Athens with its presence. A stroll down Aiolou Street is a journey through time, allowing you to experience the rich tapestry of Athenian history first-hand.
