Frommer's Review

What was once an undistinguished (well, ugly) hotel from the ?70s has morphed into one of the coolest and most stylish designer hotels in the city. A black vertical fireplace in the reception area sets the tone for what is an ideally modern urban experience. The rooms aren't huge but they are stylish and modern with many interesting choices such as the armchairs that open into beds, blinds controlled from your bed, and funky colored glass dividers in the bathrooms. One of the many assets of the Fresh Hotel is that it is a hip destination for Athenians to lounge around at as well. The Magenta Restaurant offers many healthy options during the day; on the 9th floor the beautiful Air Lounge Bar with its wooden deck and swimming pool has great city panoramas and very good drinks, but the entire scene belongs almost exclusively to the very popular Orange Bar Restaurant that is busy and hopping well into the early-morning hours. Located near the Athens stock exchange and Athens's little Chinatown and little Bangladesh, this is a true urban experience in a part of the city that used to be visited only by necessity.

Facilities:
Restaurant/bar; swimming pool; minispa

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
