A new hotel in the heart of Kolonaki, Athens' well-to-do district, the Modernist is a great blend of amenities and service. The hotel opened the week I visited and I expected there to be a few kinks to work out, but there were none! Service is wonderful, staff proactively asked what we needed, from carafes of sparkling water that they brought to the room on request any time of day, to laundry and other things. They also were very keen to know how they were doing, considering they were new. Breakfast is delightful, with a a creative mix of traditional Greek things and other international food. COVID setup is hygienic and efficient. We had a large room, which is not particularly large but has spectacular balconies overlooking the park across the street and with views of Lycabettus Hill. Windows are isolated and do a good job of keeping out the Athenian noise. Finally, the upstairs roof deck is a real delight, quiet, private, with a fantastic view of the Acropolis, and with a telephone to order drinks from downstairs. It's like being at the Hilton Bar across the street, but not paying 20 euros for cocktails. All told, a great start and a wonderful find, I wish the staff all the best of luck!

This is a brand new hotel where everything is done to the highest standard possible, from the cutlery in the breakfast room to the fittings in the beautifully appointed rooms to the windows that are totally soundproof, its all great. We took 5 rooms for a multi-national family reunion in these crazy covid times, all the rooms were different, but all were fine, they are not the largest hotel rooms in the world, but they are definately amongst the best thought out. The staff were super helpful, to all our varied requests they always said yes, always found a solution for our small problems and most importantly always with a genuine smile. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone who is visiting Athens who enjoy modern architecture and furnishings.
