Experts' Choice Award Fresh Hotel
What the experts agree on
Fresh Hotel wins fans for its vibrant, minimalist design and rooftop pool with Acropolis views—a hip, jet-set favorite. It's near the central market, though some note the surrounding area feels rough at night.
“Around the corner from Kotzia Square and the central food market hall, 300 meters from the Omonia metro station, this is one of the city's most notable recent arrivals.”

Rough Guide "Glossy, high-end hotel in the heart of the market area. Lavish use of colour, elegant furnishings and great lighting and bathrooms, though you do wonder how long it will stay looking fresh."
