The Social Athens

Α synergy between a genuine urban Athenian experience and a calm and elegant hotel stay.

The Social Athens adds an exciting hospitality option to the scene. Just launched in the city's central, upmarket Kolonaki district, the new property represents the transformation of a tired, existing 1960s public building into a thoroughly contemporary hospitality hub for the Radisson Individuals member hotel.

The architects drew inspiration from the synergetic effect of a genuine urban Athenian experience and the need for an elegant and tranquil hotel stay as a counterbalance. The refreshed building features 24 rooms in a boutique, fourstar environment. An open and transparent towards the street ground level contains the hotel lobby as well as a new restaurant and bar space, which invite the neighborhood in.
