A77 Suites by Andronis

At A77 Suites, check-in can begin in a boutique rather than behind a desk: guests can try on clothes from the hotel's own shop before the key reaches their hand, an arrival that feels closer to a fitting than paperwork. The building is a restored 19th-century neoclassical house on Adrianou 77, in Plaka, one of Athens' oldest and most walked pedestrian streets, with the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library and the old Acropolis Museum all within reach on foot. Only twelve suites exist, each different in size, from a 22-square-metre Petite Suite with a marble rain shower to an Economy Junior Suite built for groups of up to eight. Breakfast is served in the room from five rotating menus, a massage can be arranged in the same privacy, and concierge staff, working across several languages, will put together a private tour into the city's Jewish heritage, its street art or its 19th-century architecture, or book a car, a bike or the airport transfer. Membership in Small Luxury Hotels of the World signals the standard the owners are chasing, and the in-house boutique and fashion check-in are the one idea no other suite hotel on this street offers. This suits someone who wants a stay arranged to the smallest detail and is content with twelve rooms rather than a lobby to sit in. It will not suit anyone who wants more space than a suite allows, or the scale of a bigger hotel. What stays fixed is the address, steps from the city's oldest streets. Twelve suites in a restored 19th-century house on Adrianou 77, steps from the Acropolis, with an in-house boutique that doubles as check-in. Good for someone who wants details handled and doesn't need a lobby. Not for anyone wanting more room to spread out.
