Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens
Somewhere between the beach and the city, Ace Hotel Athens pulls it off again - this time with palm trees, brutalist lines, and a heat that slows things down just enough.
The rooms are grounded in warm tones and thoughtful details – linen robes, tiled floors, records playing softly in the corner. Mornings start with coffee from Good Chemistry or a swim on the rooftop, where striped loungers overlook Glyfada and the sea beyond.
The terrace restaurant carries the rhythm into the evening; local wine, grilled lamb, salt-crusted cocktails, and that loose, glowing mood that lingers long after the plates are cleared. There’s energy when you want it, peace when you don’t, and always a sense that someone’s thought about how you move through the day.
Nothing feels staged, but everything works. It’s Athens, edited just enough.
