The DNA: Following the success of its first property in downtown Thessaloniki, ‘The Modernist’ opens a second boutique hotel, this time in Athens. The Modernist Athens is set in the former Canadian embassy in Kolonaki, a high-end neighborhood in the historical heart of the Greek capital. The hotel welcomes guests in a relaxed, elegant environment that seamlessly combines Art Deco elements, mid-century detailing and Danish design. The brainchild of entrepreneur Kostis Karatzas, The Modernist Athens has been developed with the same emphasis on local creativity as its counterpart up north, introducing travellers to the city’s artistic community through curated experiences.
