“A contemporary Art Deco style hotel in the heart of Athens. The interiors are sleek and sophisticated with modern decor, eclectic artwork and parquet flooring. Spacious rooms, with a few surprises. Mediterranean-style food on offer, two lively bars perfect for socialising. Fun is the objective here.”

Hotel review

Positioned in the heart of ritzy Syntagma Square, the Gatsby is squarely directed at people who like a good party - as one might expect from a hotel named after a 1920s playboy. The lively reception, filled with voluminous floral displays, and giant rabbits during Easter, pulses with upbeat music even at breakfast. Adjacent to the lobby is a chic cocktail bar which is a good spot for a martini and people-watching before heading out for dinner. The rooms however are quiet and comfortable, and spacious enough to make them feel like little apartments, with large, plant-filled terraces overlooking the bustling streets. Lighting can be adjusted to a 'naughty' setting - after figuring out how the slightly complex electronic panels work.
