Monument Hotel, Athens

Kalamida 11, Athina 105 54, Greece. (show on map)

The Monument Hotel in Athens is such a gem. Hidden in plain sight, it’s a beautifully restored building designed by Ernst Ziller that feels like stepping into a piece of history, but with all the modern comforts you actually want.

The architecture is seriously impressive, with high ceilings and elegant, Scandinavian-inspired furniture that somehow makes the space feel both grand and cozy. It’s intimate, stylish, and absolutely perfect for someone who wants something deeper than your average hotel-chain stay.

Inside, the vibe is super relaxed and personal. You can unwind in their lounge with a drink, read a book, or just reflect. This hotel really leans into that “feel at home” energy. They also have a spa to help you recharge, and the staff seems genuinely focused on giving you a tailored experience.

Staying at Monument isn’t just about where you sleep, it’s about feeling inspired and connected to Athens’ rich past while enjoying a peaceful, thoughtful retreat right in the heart of the city.

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“A 19th-century mansion that has been faithfully restored without slipping into historical pastiche, Monument combines the intimacy of a guesthouse with the luxury of space and privacy. All nine guest rooms are huge, with soaring stucco ceilings and vast windows that overlook a typical Athenian scene.”

Wallpaper review:

“Monument Athens is not only one of the Greek capital’s newest luxury hospitality offerings; it also offers a bridge between Athens’ past, present and future, housed in a precious listed historic structure in the city’s centre – a neoclassical building from 1881 designed by German-born architect Ernst Ziller (who is behind over 500 structures across Greece, including key municipal buildings such as the Presidential Mansion and the National Archaeological Museum).”

Charming boutique hotel in a great neighborhood with excellent service.

Elegant little hotel in a uniquely Athens urban setting: gritty and cool at the same time. Beautiful room with trompe l'oeil high ceilings, big bathrooms and comfy beds. Walking distance to some great restaurants and bars, and easy access to all of the tourist faves. Lovely little breakfast on offer. The staff are super-helpful and very friendly.

Beautifully restored historical home in a great location.

Beautifully restored historical home in a great location. The room was so pretty and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. All the staff were friendly and helpful. A special thank you to Maria at the front desk for being so kind and lovely. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to use the sauna/spa facilities.

Elegant boutique hotel in a perfect location

Beautiful room, especially the bathroom and the terrace with the view of Acropolis. The staff is also amazingly kind. Super good restaurant around the corner. Modern Greek.

It’s all perfect

A very nice stay to complete our trip in greece. The view is the main reason to stay at this hotel.

Very well located. The room had a great view. The staff were very friendly. The terrace was an exceptional place to be - breakfast and after dinner drinks on the terrace with views of the Acropolis is a treat. Restaurant suggestions were well judged.

The stairs could be off-putting for some - there is no elevator so please note this if you have mobility issues.
Breakfast starting at 730am was a little disappointing on day of checkout for early flight - they did provide a coffee and pastry. The poor staff spilt orange juice all over our breakfast tray while climbing the stairs - I felt for the poor girl. Breakfast on the terrace is great but awfully difficult for the staff! This is very much a boutique hotel without the amenities of a large 5-star hotel. We liked that but could be a negative for others.

Wonderfully stylish Historic neoclassical property

The public areas are beautiful, we had a superb room, with a simply stunning outdoor terrace backing onto a historic Byzantine church. The staff kindly offered to bring breakfast to our room and we enjoyed it on the terrace.

Small and well run historic hotel in a central location

Very comfortable stay in a beautifully renovated historic building. Exceptionally clean room and staff are all very friendly and helpful. The hot selection and individual breakfast plates were good, however not a lot of bread on offer the first couple of days. We didn’t use the wellness area but were shown it when we arrived. The hotel is very walkable to all the main sights of Athens and is close to many bars and restaurants.

I don’t always feel like making small talk with reception staff every time you pass; but can’t fault their friendly attitude. Our room and terrace were lovely although not much space around the bed (there was a seating area though). No-one used the lounge when we were there so there was no atmosphere when we stayed for a drink a couple of times. I would create a proper bar there and do away with the need for someone to open the main door for guests by installing a code or key card entry system. I think part of what you pay for at Monument is its small size, personal service and feeling of exclusivity. However I wouldn’t want to pay as much as we did to stay there again.

We would absolutely love to return if given the opportunity!

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the hotel! From the warm and welcoming greeting from the staff to the thoughtful recommendations for places to visit and other helpful suggestions, we felt truly cared for. Additionally, the room was incredibly luxurious, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable, definitely one of the best we've ever slept on!

Outstanding hotel in the heart of Athens.

Beautiful boutique hotel, great staff, comfortable bed, excellent shower. Breakfast was also very good. Staff was since and helpful. The location is great as well, very close to many sights and restaurants/bars, be just far enough to be completely quiet at night. Highly recommended!

Not one thing!

We got an upgrade for free, which was perfect and the bed was just amazingly cozy

Such a beautiful building with great focus on detail

The first picture here on booking, is really putting us off of coming and I think google also has it. Please do change it. It doesn't give the feeling of the house at all

Great boutique hotel

Beautiful and spotless. Easy to walk in central Athens. Modern but classy. Very friendly, made us a quick breakfast to go when we had to leave before it was to be served.

Some might have trouble with stairs. They did deliver the luggage

As advertised, and beyond

perfect location to all central markets, restaurant and bars, shopping streets and monuments. The hotel building has been beautifully restored and the description on the hotel website accurately describes reality.

The lack of an elevator is the result of the strict restauration regulations, so there is nothing to complain about, however, bear in mind it takes 50 steep stairs to get to the second floor.

Stylish Stay right near Central Athens

Great location. On arrival, it doesnt look like the most central location but in the light of day, we realized how close we were to everything! Very nice staff! Nice amenities and wellness offerings.

No elevator because its an historic building, but otherwise, a lot to like!

Absolutely wonderful, recommended for everyone

The staff was very kind, helpful and polite. The room was beautiful and very comfortable, and the location is great and very close to everything.
Special note for the breakfast - everything was absolutely delicious and the service was perfect. Would definitely visit this hotel again.

The only possible downside I can think of is the lack of an elevator due to the limitations of the building, but it's important to note that personally for us it made no difference.

A wonderful place to stay in Athens. Front desk is very friendly and helpful

It was a beautiful old perfectly restored hotel

There a shame there isn’t a lift or dummy waiter to help take up the luggage and room service. I felt guilty about the staff lugging up our things.

Perfect city break

Lovely building thoughtfully converted into stylish boutique hotel. Comfortable bedroom & bathroom, wonderful think fluffy towels. Staff were exceptional - all very friendly, delightful people, knowledgeable & thoughtful. Fabulous location in Psyrri - characterful area, & everything we wanted to see was a short walk away plus lots of lovely bars & restaurants on your doorstep in the neighbourhood

Pillows too soft. And the mattress protector was a waterproof layer immediately under the sheet so I woke up sweaty every day. This was a shame because everything else was SO good
