Situated in Agias Eirinis square near many of the Greek capital’s major attractions but off the crowded tourist trail, Perianth Hotel is surprising in many ways. Designed by the country’s hottest design firm, K-Studio, the hotel is a joyful ode to Greece today. The interiors are inspired by the Athenian modern movement, the building's streamlined art deco facade reveals rooms with stunning Acropolis views, and curated artworks by contemporary Greek artists are on proud display both in the rooms and the public spaces. The hotel also shares its space with the Zen Center Athens, a unique institution devoted to meditation, martial arts, yoga, and Eastern philosophy.
