Book a Chill Room for the balcony outdoor shower — it's a quirky design touch that's actually very usable

Why It Matters

One of Athens's most talked-about design hotels, now a Marriott Bonvoy Design Hotels member after a major expansion. The new neoclassical wing designed by Paola Navone added 15 rooms and suites, a new rooftop cocktail bar, and Acropolis views. The hotel also runs its own farm in Avlida, Central Greece, supplying the kitchen and fueling a certified olive oil sommelier tasting program.

Fresh Hotel is a bold design statement on one of Athens's most historic boulevards. Its original modernist building is now joined by a restored neoclassical mansion, with interiors by Italian designer Paola Navone and OTTO Studio — think Gervasoni furniture, Rubelli fabrics, and lights made from reused glassware. The rooftop does double duty as a swimming pool deck (open May to October) and an open-air cinema on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
