The Modernist Athens transforms the former Canadian Embassy into a sleek haven, combining minimalist design, curated local touches, and stunning rooftop Acropolis views.
The Modernist Athens is a love letter to sleek minimalism and local craftsmanship. Set in the former Canadian Embassy, the hotel combines polished concrete, brass accents, and custom furniture to create a space that feels effortlessly cool. But it’s the local touches that truly shine—handcrafted ceramics, Athens-inspired playlists by DJ Palov, and thoughtful design details that celebrate Greek creativity in every corner.
Each of the 38 rooms, ranging from Small to Extra Large, is designed with purpose and precision. Expect solid timber floors, custom brass details, and handmade ceramics, all exuding understated elegance. Extras like Marshall speakers, Polaroid cameras, and curated vinyl records in the XL rooms make the spaces feel as personal as they are stylish. Whether you’re relaxing in a king-sized bed or enjoying the view from your balcony, every corner is crafted for comfort and style.
The rooftop terrace at The Modernist is where you’ll want to start and end your day. With panoramic views of Athens, including the Acropolis and Mount Lycabettus, it’s a serene escape from the city buzz. By evening, the rooftop bar transforms into a lively spot to sip signature cocktails created by mixologist Nikos Bakoulis from The Clumsies. Whether it’s a quiet moment with a morning coffee or a sunset toast, the rooftop is an unforgettable highlight.
Situated in Kolonaki, Athens’ most upscale district, The Modernist offers a perfect base for exploring the city. Surrounded by art galleries, designer boutiques, and vibrant cafés, the hotel is just a short walk from cultural landmarks like the Museum of Cycladic Art and the National Gallery. Whether you’re wandering through nearby streets or taking the funicular to the top of Mount Lycabettus, the location ensures you’re never far from the city’s pulse.
