Property is beautiful and staff is welcoming and helpful. Genieve and Alyssa are top notch.
Spa was fabulous. Mandy the manager is fantastic and massage therapists Alexis and Ellie provide therapeutic massages. They are excellent.
Gorgeous property, responsive staff, comfortable accommodation at a reasonable price. Only critique is the self parking being so far. Will definitely stay here again
What a find! The hotel is spectacular. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were outstanding. There’s a great on-site restaurant with a bar as well.

The room was amazing for a staycation! The staff welcoming and the restaurant added an extra touch to the experience! The valet was excellent! I will book again!
Wonderful and beautifully crafted hotel. The scent as you walk in is exceptionally welcoming and warm. I had a situation with my room, and the staff responded quickly and efficiently. However, the hotel seem to be overpriced and the walls are thin as hallway conversations and neighbor television was heard throughout the night. Overall, my stay was appropriate.
This is a hidden gem in Athens! A beautiful space, with beautiful exterior architecture. The inside decor is thoughtfully put together, giving you an industrial yet chic classy vibe. The staff was extremely friendly and personable. Definitely a must stay! I wish we had more time to try the spa.
This is a very well run, VERY clean, class establishment. Great service. Excellent restaurant on site. Beautiful outside and stylish inside. 5 minutes from just about everything in town.
Lovely room but very cold on a winter day. I adjusted the thermostat but the room didn’t warm up. Also to park close, valet parking is mandated. Free parking is around the corner and a short walk. No instructions were given at check-in on how to keep the lights from auto turn off. Your card had to be in a slot to keep the on. This info should have have been given at check-in.
