“Ideally located, close to the centre of Athens, in the historic district of Psyrri, this elegant, industrial-style 12-suite boutique hotel provides space and light and a divine rooftop bar/café - for individuals, architectural-lovers, couples and families. A unique urban hotel.”

Hotel Review
This urban sanctuary offers modern comfort in one of the oldest neighbourhoods (where Lord Byron the famous philhellene English poet, once lived in1809.) Tucked down a side street within the quaint and colourful graffiti’d area of Psiri, The Foundry offers loft-style rooms, some double-height and split-level, with generous proportions and windows. Originally a font foundry in 1930, then a printing house and cultural centre, the building retains an industrial feel. Contemporary luxury includes sumptuous beds (complete with pillow menu), hi-tech lighting, retro furniture, kitchenette and even a piano and record player. The rooftop bar and café is a delight, festooned with grasses and greenery and views of the Acropolis. At night, cocktails and pizza are on the menu and in the morning, breakfast is served in a picnic hamper. It’s an ideal and discreet base for exploring the city, not far from the Monastiraki area. A stylish, contemporary hotel with lots of character.
