The Modernist Athens

The hotel is very conveniently located in Kolonaki district with lots of restaurants, cafes and bars around, and also walkable to Syntagma square and Plaka district. Acrapolis although still walkable, in only 5-6 minutes away by taxi. Hotel staff were extremely caring and polite in every respect and they provided excellent service. Breakfast was very good, with fresh and tasty collection of food.

The Modernist is a truly exceptional gem of a boutique hotel. What makes this place so special are the staff. The service at The Modernist is incredible - every single person goes out of their way to make your stay and experience feel special. From thoughtful recommendations to extending our stay at the last minute because of cancelled flights, everything we needed was seamless and achieved with a smile. The rooms are great - we loved the record player with the eclectic record collection and the rooftop terrace is charming with a fabulous view. If you want a place that is stylish, chilled out, friendly and makes you feel at home in a new city, The Modernist should be your choice !

This hotel is amazing. The staff is incredible and so accommodating. Whatever I needed assistance with they were there to help me along the way and make things easier. I needed a rental car they helped me. I needed a transfer and they helped me with that. They have true hospitality here. I felt like I was back in the USA. The breakfast is great and the rooftop is beautiful especially during sunset with the view of the Acropolis and rooftops of Athens. The rooms are beautiful as well. This is the only place I will stay next time I come to Athens.

I am an architect, so yes, already the name The Modernist caught my eye, but this place truly is a delight to all the senses. The hotel is located in the heart of Kolonaki, with its tree lined streets and hustle and bustle of up market bistros and bars. The hotel itself is a genuine work of art and the attention to detail is unsurpassed. Rooms are sleek and minimalist, with carefully crafted dark interiors that transport you to a place of tranquillity, complemented with bespoke furniture and brass highlights, adding a touch of luxury, which continues in the gorgeous bathroom with stone counter tops and a spacious walk-in shower. One of the highlights of the hotel is the rooftop terrace, with stunning views of the Acropolis and the city skyline, the perfect place to relax with a drink or enjoy a meal. The home cooked food is inspired and made with love, breakfast is not to be missed and will lift both your legs and spirit from the get-go. But what really sets The Modernist Athens apart is its warm-hearted people. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, always happy to help with anything you may need and make sure that you have a wonderful stay. They’re the family you wished you always had. It’s my favourite place to stay when I’m visiting Athens. I’ve stayed here many times and I can’t wait to come back. The Modernist Athens is a truly special and unforgettable place.

The accommodations were very nice, clean, and comfortable. What stood out the most, though, was the TEAM the made our stay so special. The team at the awesome breakfast service was excellent along with the team we didn’t see, but who made all of those delicious selections each morning. Not to be missed. Also, the team at the front desk was always there for you, whether it be a restaurant recommendation, calling a taxi, or just general advice on things to see and do while in Athens.
