The Foundry Suites Athens: An upper-scale experience in a retro-style urban sanctuary

If you usually think that industrial places lack authenticity and heritage, then, get ready to be surprised with The Foundry Suites Athens. The building had lived many lives since the 1930s and the hotel has an elegant merge of industrial design with a postmodern vintage aesthetic. Walk in the bookshelf corridor to enter a modern oasis filled with light and stories. Every detail is designed for you to have an authentic Greek experience, with a hipster twist. Mediterranean vegetation that blends with the industrial design, the very best of local and eco-friendly in-room products, a Greek wine tasting session organized just for you, oh and that traditional breakfast basket served to your room.

Climb to the rooftop garden, to get a sense of the traditional Greek courtyard. You will find yourself tranquillized with the lavender scent, under the shades of pomegranate and olive trees. By the end of the day, an unforgettable view of the sunset on the Acropolis rock will be awaiting you.

It was in a great location, the rooftop bar and cocktails were superb! The staff were all so lovely. Me and my husband had the best time. I love that we didn’t have a TV in our room so it meant we listened to music more, they even had a vinyl player! The only down side was there were a few mosquitoes in our room so my husband got bitten a bit but it was still a great place to stay. The breakfast was great as well!
