New Hotel Hotel

We stayed at the New Hotel at the start and end of our trip to Greece. We booked the Penthouse Suite which is the only one available it has a massive private rooftop patio that you could have had a party for 100 people on with a huge lounger beds, tables and seating. The views were spectacular super close to the Acropolis and the windows in the suite were all aligned to be able to view this. The interior of the suite, while hugely spacious and lovely, could have been slightly better appointed. The bathroom counter had very little space for my makeup and toiletries, and hair styling tools, so I found myself getting ready in the bedroom or living room. The wetroom with the shower/bathtub could have had a bit better ventilation. But these comments are really quite minor compared to the spectacular views, gorgeous private patio, and the lovely staff at the hotel. The suite reminded me of the penthouse suite at the Hotel Continentale in Florence, which was also extremely special. The options for modern luxury hotels are scarce in Athens, so this one would be at the top. Would stay here again.

We arrived at the hotel about 11:30 am. Rather than forcing us to wait until the 2:00 pm check-in time, the front desk staff were quickly able to check whether our room was ready and let us check-in. This was much appreciated as we were tired from our overnight flight into Athens. Later when we were sitting in the lobby waiting for a friend to arrive, the front desk staff allowed us to call our friends cell phone from the front desk as we didn't have cell service in Greece. Perhaps a small thing but very helpful. The location was ideal, close to the tourist area. The room was comfortable. I loved the little balcony, the blackout shades, and the lighting. I would stay here again any time. I highly recommend this hotel.
