Monastik Living in Athina

Setting

Admiring the Acropolis

Taking its name from the Greek word for ‘alone’, Monastik Living in Athina is your cocooning antidote to the capital’s peppy pace. Interiors at this all-suite stay draw on its ancient surroundings, fronting neutral palettes with hand-curated furnishings, Athenian artwork and — in many — bedside panoramas of the Parthenon. Central sights are within easy reach from your hillside Mets setting, too.

Our Favourite Rooms

Suites are a serene contrast to the city’s bustle, with natural palettes that allow one-off artwork and view-framing windowed walls to take centre stage. Wake up and wonder at Athens’ ancient citadel straight from your bed in any of the Acropolis suites — take your awe alfresco in the Acropolis View Penthouse Suite or Acropolis View Supreme Suite with Outdoor Mini Jetted Pool.

Poolside

There’s a small jetted pool up on the rooftop terrace, bordered with alfresco living spaces and uninterrupted views of the Acropolis. Or book into the Acropolis View Supreme Suite and get an outdoor hot tub to yourselves.

Spa

There’s no spa, but if you’re in desperate need of de-stressing, staff can call on their roster of masseurs for in-suite treatments.

Hotel Restaurant

There’s no restaurant at Monastik Living, but breakfast baskets with your pick of produce will be delivered to your door each morning, and there are plenty of raved-about restaurants within walking distance.

Hotel Bar

You won’t find a formal bar here, but there’s a minifridge with all sorts of cocktails in suites.

Planes

Athens International Airport is a bustling hub, with direct flights to most European cities. The airport is around 40 minutes from the hotel by car, and private transfers can be arranged for an additional charge.

Automobiles

Athens is a walkable city, so you won’t need a car to get around. If you are bringing a set of wheels, there’s private parking a five-minute walk from the hotel that you’re welcome to use for €15 a day.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Monastik Living’s lesser-known locale tells a tale of two cities, putting you within equal walking distance of Athens’ flourishing centre and its quieter, locally adored Mets neighbourhood. All the city’s museums are in easy reach, including the ancient Acropolis, architecture-focused Alexandros Soutsos Museum and cultural Byzantine and Christian Museum. Contemporary options like the Benaki Museum’s flagship exhibition space and the Theocharakis Foundation for the Fine Arts and Music both sit a scenic potter away through the Athens National Garden. There’s more to marvel at the marble-clad Panathenaic Stadium, and views to be soaked up atop Ardittos Hill, too.

For shopping, make the 30-minute venture across to the city’s main drag, Ermou Street, for big names. For smaller boutique finds, the hotel’s abutting neighbourhoods of Pangrati and Koukaki are your go-to. And once a week, the surrounding streets’ farmers’ markets fill with local vendors and the sweet scent of Athenian bakes and street food.
