Vol. 5 The Mini Lodge: A Cozy and welcoming hotel in the Heart of Athens
Hidden in the streets of central Athens, Vol. 5 The Mini Lodge is where you can feel at home in this ancient city. This early 19th-century Athenian neoclassical residence, with its beige façade and black wrought-iron balconies, exudes class and invites you in.
As you walk into Vol. 5 The Mini Lodge, the welcoming and laidback atmosphere will draw you in further. Crisp white walls, warm wooden furniture, 70s designer furniture in different colors and textures, and specially picked-out paintings all combine to create a homey vibe. Being travel lovers themselves, the sibling owners Titika and Cha made sure the 5 concept suites are designed to represent and inspire the 5 experiences of traveling – “Relax,” “Create,” “Enjoy,” “Imagine,” and “Dream.”
Sitting in the heart of Athens, you can start exploring this historical city the second you step out of the hotel. At the end of the day, you’ll come back to your relaxing room, where you’ll enjoy a good night’s sleep and dream about the adventures to come tomorrow.
