Isrotel's Style Now in Athens - A Peek at the New Luxury Hotels of the Israeli Chain in Greece's Capital

Israelis are voting with their feet - and planes. Athens, the capital of Greece, is one of the safest cities for Israelis.

A short flight away (less than two hours), you are still close to home but at the center of attractions and pace of Greece's capital.

And those who have already been - know: there is nothing like Athens in the winter season. The tourist crowds in attractions (including the Acropolis) are much less noticeable, the taverns, bars, and clubs remain open until the wee hours, music is heard from every street corner, and the pleasant (and sometimes even sunny) winter weather makes you want to explore the entire city on foot.

In the heart of Athens, very close to the main tourist spots, are two hotels of the Aluma chain, the international chain in Greece from the Israeli Isrotel Hotels.

Anise: Luxury Among Spices

Opened this year, Anise, a 4-star hotel, is the newest of the hotels in Athens. The hotel is located in Athens' "Street of Spices," near the lively, young, and popular Psiri neighborhood. The area is known for its authentic character, including unique boutiques, colorful markets, local art, and lively nightlife.

The hotel has 63 stylish rooms featuring natural textures and calming colors. Each room has an espresso machine, mini-bar, fast WIFI, high-quality toiletries, and a surprise: a captivating scent that stays with you even after you return home (you can also purchase it in spray or candle form and take it with you. Trust us, you won’t regret it).

Anise is designed as a Stoa, the classic Greek street design resembling a shopping arcade inviting you to come in and enjoy. The blend of urban surroundings and luxurious style makes Anise one of the unique hotels in the city.

The hotel’s restaurant is surprising and diverse. Breakfast is divided into quality and upgraded tastings from the Greek kitchen, alongside other dishes we all look for and love at hotel breakfasts. So those wanting to be daring and authentic before starting the day will find what they want, and those looking for a classic meal will also find everything they seek here.

On the hotel's roof, you’ll find a pool with a panoramic urban view of the Athens neighborhoods and even further, and a bar where you can choose an elaborate cocktail or any other drink that makes you happy. The hotel also has a state-of-the-art health and fitness center, as well as a meeting room for business guests.

Soon, Anise is expected to expand to 105 rooms, including spacious suites and family rooms.

Skylark: At the Heart of Affairs

The first hotel of the Aluma chain in Athens is Skylark in Omonia square, one of the three main squares of the city (alongside Monastiraki and Syntagma). Everything is within walking distance, and if we have mentioned exploring Athens on foot, the location of Skylark will be ideal for starting the journey.

Like the Anise, the Skylark hotel is also 4-star. But before we get to the rooms, let's start with the hotel roof boasting a panoramic view with a chic swimming pool and breathtaking views of Athens and the Acropolis. The roof serves as a main attraction, featuring a bar with unique cocktails.

Now to the rooms - and there are 199, all stylishly designed, some with private balconies overlooking the city views. The rooms are equipped with fast WIFI, an espresso machine, and modern furniture.

The hotel also has an advanced health center with a gym and an extensive spa area including specialized treatments and two conference halls.

Like Isrotel, But Abroad

But that’s not all. Another hotel from the Aluma chain, the international hotels chain in Greece from the Israeli Isrotel Hotels, will soon open right next to the previous two. The new hotel will be called Adia, and it will be the largest among the three, at a five-star level.

Adia will bring additional surprises - between others on the roof and in the multifunctional public space rare to see in hotels in Greece's capital. So after your next vacation in Athens, you will want to return once more.

But alongside the luxury, the fun, and the proximity to Athens' attractions, perhaps the main reason to choose one of the Aluma hotels is the standard of service and quality we all know from the well-known Isrotel chain.

Now, at last, you can enjoy this quality during a vacation in Athens. Haven’t booked yet?
