[more]The hotel with the best access to the centre of Athens, the Acropolis, historical monuments and museums, as well as the airport, the port, and railway and metro stations.
The Athens lotus hotel, a neoclassical building dating from the early 20th century, fully renovated in 2009 as a 4-star hotel, is the starting point of a new activity that prioritizes aesthetic rejuvenation and hospitality.
Accommodation
With respect for the building’s architecture, each one of the 31 rooms has its own style, combined with the comforts of a truly pleasant stay. All the rooms were renovated in order to offer comfortable accommodation for two, and wherever allowed by the existing architecture we have created family studios, with two independent rooms that can accommodate up to five persons (adults and children).
The Hotel
The house on Favierou Street quoted in this poem, was the house in which poet Kostas Karyotakis lived in 1916. The poet’s life journey ended in Preveza, one morning in 1928… In 1930, the building permit listed “construction of an inn” on its site, with the cosmopolitan name of “The Louvre”.
Older inhabitants of this special, commercial neighbourhood remember the 1950s-1960s, when the figure of Antonis Samarakis sat on the hotel’s small balcony and wrote:
“A confused clamour came from the background… The city breathed in the night… Life travelled the wide streets… Life, life worth standing up as Cynegeirus baring his teeth and saying I REFUSE to death, saying I REFUSE to refuse life… Life worth standing up and fighting for, to finally make this life less ugly… less oppressive… to make this world a new world… a different world…”
((A. Samarakis – I REFUSE)
