Gargaretta Arthouse Suite

An Art-Filled Athenian Neoclassical Residence with Hotel-Level Services

A private residence in the H&P Hospitality collection, set at the foot of the Acropolis, this artful suite in a timeless registered building presents a hidden doorway into authentic Athens, capturing the city’s ancient essence with an artist’s eye and architect’s precision.

Beautifully restored, the 95-square-meter private home brims with selected sculptures, antique furnishings and masterful paintings emphasizing its high ceilings, saturated gemstone colors, and original tile floors. New additions add to the list of noble materials, including marble countertops, bronze taps, modernized bath and workspaces, and furnishings clad in richly textured upholstery. The bedroom is a king-sized, en-suite space with garden views.

Lushly landscaped with the lines of French formal gardens, the shared outdoor space is a stone-enclosed oasis, with built in stone sofa seating, bistro table dining, a fountain and leafy shade under citrus tress and palms.

Layout

Enter the residence and you'll find a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom immediately to your right. Beyond that, there is a fully equipped kitchen with dining space. Towards the back of the residence, there is a living room, with an adjacent study, a quiet workspace with a period day bed and a second bathroom. The kitchen leads out to a shared garden.

Around

Set in the same neoclassical neighborhood as its parent hotels, this private garden residence is steps from Athen’s most famous landmark, the Acropolis, and its location is ideal for experiencing the city’s vibrant cultural tapestry and history. The elegant blocks are primarily residential, joined by museums, galleries, cafes and restaurants. The famed pedestrian street of Dionissiou Aeropagitou, under the cliff of the Acropolis, is a beautiful avenue of neoclassical architecture, home to embassies, cultural institutions, and museums.

Just a few minutes away, the neighborhood of Plaka offers turn-of-the-century houses and pedestrian-only streets, with respite from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Great small bars and cafes, locally owned restaurants, green parks, plazas, and walking paths line Plaka, punctuated by Philopappu Hill, with its views over the city’s famous archeological sites and ancient ruins.
