A member of Yes! Hotel group, the New The hotel opened its doors in July 2011, fully encapsulating the YES! Hotels philosophy - Young, Enthusiastic and Seductive. The NEW hotel is located in the heart of Athens is within walking distance from the city's main attractions. This 79-room and suites establishment is one of the city's finest examples of modern architecture. The interiors are simply outstanding. The unusual custom-made furniture and handmade fixtures making guests feel and breathe in a central art installation. An entirely NEW approach with energetic hospitality and seductive customer-centered services, NEW Hotel, is the first-ever hotel project of award-winning designer duo Fernando and Humberto Campana. They were commissioned for their eco-friendly ethos, love for contemporary materials, and local culture sensitivity. This ethos is apparent in every aspect of the NEW Hotel's design, allowing it to blend in seamlessly with the neighborhood in which it stands, honoring its surroundings like no other city hotel in Athens.

Located on Filellinon Street, next to Constitution Square, the hotel is perfectly positioned as a base for exploring sights of Athens, including the ruins of Plaka and the Acropolis hill, as well as for discovering the contemporary side of the city with modern restaurants and bars, the stylish boutique shopping district of Kolonaki and the bustling business zone.

The hotel's exclusive location is celebrated through its designers. The Campanas worked with local architecture students from the University of Thessaly to combine design and culture, collide on every floor. The old Olympic Palace Hotel elements were cleverly contrasted by a blend of new modern art, sculpture, and design on the inside. NEW Hotel encompasses its past heritage by using parts of the old hotel, recreating them, and reinterpreting local materials to create a complete work of art. Each of the 79 bedrooms emulates one of three concepts stemming from Greek culture, with postcards of old Athens, traditional symbols such as the evil eye charm, and shadow puppets, giving them a modern design twist. This step of transformation from the old and derelict into the modern and luxurious is a bridge between the past and the present, making NEW Hotel, the only contemporary boutique hotel in Athens.

Dining

The Campana's influence extends to "New Taste," the restaurant. Located on the ground floor, it is based on the iconic Favela Chair, with columns covered in long narrow strips of wood, reminiscent of Brazil's favelas, and pieces of furniture from the old Olympic hotel. The all-day restaurant serves a menu based on simple Mediterranean dishes cooked using the finest and freshest produce, a popular place for guests and Athenians alike. On the 7th floor of the hotel, the Art Lounge serves exceptional food and cocktails, topped off with Athens' panoramic views.
