The discreet front to AthensWas lies at Dionyisiou Areopagitou, certainly one of the most suitable streets in Athens.

Inside, interiors are a beautifully composed collection of conventional designer pieces, including leather-based armchairs by Le Corbusier, sculptural chairs by Konstantin Grcic, and lamps by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.

Every room and suite has a smart marble balcony where you may order à la carte breakfast at no extra charge.

The sense is a fine-dining restaurant on the roof, where the Acropolis views compete with clever, boundary-pushing Greek dishes,

including scorpionfish balls with sea urchin and ouzo foam, from 200 euros.

Vertical gardens, quirky industrial design, and a fantastically landscaped roof terrace give this former foundry the edge over the other boutique lodges popping up all over Psirri.

In[n]Athens, the coronary heart beats in its atrium.

Before the buildings were converted into InnAthens, they took on many forms, together with a safe residence for refugees at the turn of the century, a girls’ college, and a hostel.

It stands these days as a boutique asset that hasn’t lost its past in the work of Greek architect Dionysos Sotovikis, who combined careful restoration with a modern-day, minimalist touch.
