The Modernist Athens
The Modernist Athens is a 38-room design hotel housed in the former Canadian Embassy in Kolonaki.
The Modernist Athens occupies the former Canadian Embassy in Kolonaki, transformed by FORMrelated into a design hotel celebrating mid-century modernism. The 1950s building provides an architectural canvas for a curated collection of vintage Danish furniture and contemporary Greek art.
38 rooms feature original terrazzo floors, custom oak furniture and marble bathrooms. The design balances Art Deco heritage with Nordic warmth - a distinctive aesthetic uncommon in Athens.
The restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on seasonal Greek ingredients. A rooftop terrace offers views toward Lycabettus Hill.
Kolonaki's galleries, boutiques and café scene lie just outside. The Modernist appeals to design enthusiasts seeking substance beyond typical boutique offerings - a hotel with genuine architectural heritage.
