The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2023 - Issue 33

bitetravel T he Social Athens Hotel, a member of Radisson In- dividuals, opened in a spectacular prime location in Kolonaki, meaning ‘little column’, the most exclusive area in the heart of Athens. It’s located on the famed Voukour- estiou Street, an upscale retail street home to prominent inter- national luxury fashion houses and renowned Greek designers. The newly launched hotel fits into the area thanks to its strik- ingly modern, wavy façade of white thermal insulation panels. It features 24 spacious guest rooms and suites, including a presi- dential suite with a large terrace and views of Lycabettus Hill. The 1960s former public building was transformed by award-win- ning Greek-Swedish firm OOAK architects using premium ma- terials native to Greece, creating true synergy between a positive Athenian social experience and a calm and elegant hotel stay. The services include complimentary high-speed internet access and a unique outdoor fitness centre. The hotel’s hip restaurant and bar area on the ground floor in- vites the city into the hotel and focuses on fresh, sustainable in- gredients to create tasty Mediterranean and international dishes. The hotel lobby and bar are great trendy spaces for art events and social gatherings. The Social Athens Hotel joins other Radisson properties in Greece, including Radisson Blu Saffron Hotel, San- torini; Radisson Blu Euphoria Resort, Mykonos and Radisson Resort Plaza Skiathos. https://www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/hotels/radisson-individ- uals-social-athens Radisson Hotel Group Arrives in Greece in Style With The Social Athens Hotel Images courtesy of Radisson Hotel Group
