Monument Hotel, Athens

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

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).”

What guests liked

All you need to know

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.

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!

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.

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

Perfect stay with a view on the acropolis

Perfect location. Unique boutique property in a single exquisitely restored mansion. Staff is charming, unobtrusive and helpful. Breakfast is excellent and lofty lobby lounge is a perfect for a late night tipple. Each room is unique and the rooftop one has its own private terrace with hot tub and views on the acropolis…

An embrace of comfort

Monument is an extremely beautiful and elegant space which is also extremely welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. The landmark space has been carefully restored to reflect it’s original design. The decorative ceilings are exquisitely beautiful, as is the overall design aesthetic. Our room was elegant, comfortable and pristine. And the serene spa space with the sauna and hammam and changing room/shower was magical. The team embodied hospitality in their kind and thoughtful interactions with us. We truly appreciated our stay.

Maybe the best hotel we've ever stayed in

The room was spoltessly clean, by far the cleanest we've ever been to. The service from the hotel staff was exceptional. The breakfast was great with many options, and we had the option of taking it in the terrace. The daily access to the sauna & hammam is a nice perk, and the fact that its private makes it singnificantly better than other spa facilities even though it's quite small. These facilities were also spotlessly clean. The room we stayed in had a large rooftop terrace with a high quality hot tub and view of the Acropolis - an unforgettable experience! Overall a great stay, maybe the best we've ever had in a hotel.

The attic room we stayed in is really lovely and very private (the sole one compared to 4 per floor on the other 2 floors), but there are a few drawbacks to consider - even though they didn't bother us: The hotel has no elevator, and while the staircase for the first 2 floors is wide an comfortable, the additional staricase to the attic is narrow and much more challanging. The room's roof, being in an attic, is tilted, which does limit mobility in it, and I did bump my head and shoulder a couple of time when being careless. The rooftop terrace is by no means private - some surrounding buildings are taller and have balconies overlooking the terrace.

Great boutique hotel nearby city centre

Great old building nearby city centre, but in quiet street. Building was renovated, with all necessary facilities, to become great small boutique hotel. Staff was extraordinary polite and helpful. They organised taxi for us, even during the strike of taxi drivers... Breakfast was server by menu, but any combination was open. Wonderful modern restaurant with local food was just next door....

Can't find any remark....

I enjoyed the attention upon arrival and departure along with the drinks and cigars in the lobby.

Breakfast was fantastic and nice to be open until 10:30 am. I liked the fruit and the coffee was superb

I was happy to get a North American charger for my electronics. That was good. I was just missing a desk to do a bit of work. But it was totally ok.

Best small hotel in Athens.

The hotel is in a restored historical building. The restoration has been done in a perfect way. The room was big and beautiful. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. By far the best place we have been in Athens.

Perhaps having a toilet hand shower in the bathroom would be nice. Everything else was excellent.

Great stay, relaxed and classy

Small hotel and after a couple of nights you know all the staff which makes you feel at home. Lovely staff, very relaxed vibe, breakfast was delicious, location very convenient and we walked everywhere with plenty options for restaurants and bars around whilst being in a quiet street. The decor throughout the hotel is perfect, and the bedroom was super with plenty of small details that made a difference. We really enjoyed staying in the top floor with the nice view for sunset and a jaccuzi. On check-out we were able to take a shower in the spa area and a taxi booked. Great service!

Nothing really, had a great and flawless stay

Luxurious, comfortable, warm and inviting home away from home

It is a beautiful, well maintained hotel where the staff treat you like family. They are courteous, warm and inviting hosts who go to great lengths to take care of your needs while making sure their guests are comfortable. Three veranda was quite the highlight where one can have coffee or breakfast.

Nothing comes to mind.

The perfect place!

From the moment we got to the hotel we felt like everyone of the staff had been waiting just for us! The welcoming staff was at the door and reception eager to make sure we would have a great stay. They showed us around the hotel and then to the room. The greatest room we have ever stayed in at a hotel, and we have been to many places of the world. Our friends got a suite with a balcony, also exceptional in all aspects with a wonderful church view. Everything was impeccable clean and all the literally golden details captures your attention deservedly so. Beds are very comfortable, the shower perfect, spa was a great experience booked for only you and your group. A la cart breakfast was served in a beautiful way with perfect taste and appearance and again everything was served by the most charming staff. This is a new hotel in an old building that has been renovated to it´s original state. That part of this hotel also deserves our most intimate compliments. It is now a true monument. We thank the great staff of the Monument hotel for a wonderful time there. We will be back.
