Description:

The Alassia Hotel is an excitingly designed minimalist affair, with discrete luxury oozing from the lobby the moment you arrive. The owners have pulled out the stops in furnishing a chic environment with marble, dark brown carpeting and various statuettes dotted around the building. The Alassia is a modern, ten-storey hotel located in a busy historical and commercial area of the city, 200 metres from the National Theatre and seven kilometres from the nearest beach. The 82 guestrooms have light beige and chocolate-brown modern decor with silver details and contemporary furnishings. All the rooms have been designed with great care to transmit a pleasant feeling of relaxation. The materials used are mainly wood and a very rare type of marble from the town of Ammochostos (Famagusta). The contemporary lobby bar serves a selection of coffees, juices and cocktails in a relaxed and informal setting, and snacks can be ordered via room service. Guests can stay connected via a high-speed Internet terminal, and meetings and seminars can be held in the hotel's conference room. Multilingual staff on the 24-hour front desk can offer advice on the hotel and the surrounding area, and arrange secretarial and babysitting services. Those wishing to explore the area will find the National Theatre 200 metres away, while Athens' Old City, the restaurants and nightlife of the lively Psiri district, the Greek Parliament and the Kolonaki shopping district are all within one kilometre of the hotel. Athens International Airport is 35 kilometres away, approximately 35 minutes by car.
