MELO Athens  

In the heart of central Athens, steps from Ermou Street and within easy walking distance of the Acropolis, Monastiraki and the Athens Central Market. This compact, budget-friendly boutique hotel drops you in the city's buzzy shopping and archaeological quarter. Ideal if you want to explore on foot — Syntagma Square and Hadrian's Library are minutes away.

A small property with just nine minimalistic, carefully designed rooms. Expect luxury mattresses and premium bedding, Netflix-ready Smart TVs, Nespresso machines, in-room safes and mini fridges. Rooms have walk-in showers with rainfall heads and thoughtful toiletries for a simple, modern stay.

Rooftop terrace with city views and a laid-back bar for evening drinks. Rent bicycles to sightsee, or use on-site parking and 24-hour airport shuttle services (surcharge). Practical extras include laundry and dry cleaning, car rental assistance, concierge service and even a doctor on call.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the hotel keeps you connected. The hotel also offers express check-in and check-out and concierge services to help arrange transfers or local tours.

Sip cocktails at the on-site bar or make espresso in your room with the Nespresso machine. The hotel's central spot puts you steps from dozens of local cafés and tavernas for authentic Greek bites.
