In Kerameikos, a location echoing with echoes of an ancient potter's settlement, you'll find the Athenaeum Eridanus Luxury Art Hotel, fondly known as The Cottages & Lofts. This luxury property is aptly named after the river acclaimed to have flowed from Acropolis to Areios Pagos and Pnyka sacred places in early times. It effortlessly merges innovative style and ageless design, its interiors aglow with authentic ceiling frescos, stylish color combinations, and smart lighting arrangements. An authentic visual contrast is presented through its collection of modern paintings by notable Greek painters, Lazongas and Fassianos, juxtaposed with conserved neoclassical frescoes on the ceilings.
Conveniently located, guests are a stone's throw away from the pulsating nightlife of Psiri and Kerameikos, the Monastiraki flea market, and the picturesque area of Plaka. The Thiseio underground station, merely 400 meters away, provides easy access to the city's financial center and various shopping areas. The airport is just 40 km away and the vast Temple of Olympian Zeus is a mere 2.2 km from the property a testament to its brilliant location. Together, these features truly encapsulate the Athenaeum Eridanus Luxury Art Hotel experience.
Guests can luxuriate in the safety and comfort of the Cottages & Lofts' rooms, replete with a TV with satellite channels, a kitchen, a mini-bar fridge, and tea and coffee making equipment. More exclusive room amenities extend to complimentary wireless Internet access, while the inclusion of bath sheets, towels, and hairdryers signifies the hotel's attention to detail.
Dining is both a journey and a delight at The Cottages & Lofts. In an unique collaboration with Varoulko – one of the most timeless and awarded restaurants helmed by chef Lefteris Lazarou, guests can relish a variety of European, contemporary, and Mediterranean delights. For lighter fare, nearby Benaki Cafe and in-room options provide an array of coffee, tea, beverages, drinks, and snacks.
The Cottages & Lofts is renown not only for its amenities but also for its services. From a lobby area with a reception, bar/bistro, and restaurants to conference facilities and efficient room service, guests can further benefit from laundry, money exchange, and tour/ticket assistance. On the wellness front, a fully equipped gym that includes a steam bath, or alternatively, in-room massage and steam room services are available.
