High-tech design
The Hotel Semiramis is located in the affluent area of Kifissia in the hills surrounding the city of Athens. The elevation gives the guests welcome respite from the humidity of the city heat in the summer months. The hotel is conveniently located for all the best shops, boutiques, restaurants and tavernas and most of the main sights are within easy reach using the Metro. They include the Acropolis and Parthenon, Lycabettic Hill, Constitution Square and the National Archaeological Museum which has a vast collection of artifacts of Ancient Greece. The hotel is 6km from the Olympic Stadium, 15km from the city of Athens and 32km from the airport.
This boutique designer hotel is as modern as the Acropolis is timeless! It is a unique luxury hotel which will certainly appeal to those who like a hip modern design and something a little different. The innovative designer, Karim Rashid, deliberately set out to design a hotel for the future rather than one living in the past and he has succeeded wonderfully. Together with owner and modern art collector, Dakis Joannou, he has created a luxury hotel in Athens with a clear emphasis on culture, art and design. The public spaces are dual purpose art galleries too.
This intimate hotel has 52 rooms which feature light boxes behind the bedheads, contemporary designer furniture and even three-dimensional art made from bricks and mortar. Bright shades of pink, aquamarine and white brighten and freshen every space from the reception and guest rooms to the pool deck. Most rooms have balconies with views overlooking the pool or the nearby park. In addition there are 5 poolside bungalows, 3 penthouse studios and the ultimate penthouse suite. All guest rooms are well appointed with high speed wireless internet access, air conditioning, electronic blinds, king or queen size beds and soft lighting options. Entertainment can be enjoyed from the plasma TV, DVD and CD players whilst the original artwork is by Karim Rashid himself.
This stylish luxury hotel also has a state-of-the-art gym with private trainers available, a wellness centre and hammam, room service, concierge and unpacking service. For those visiting Athens on business there are hip meeting spaces, a secretarial service and PC rental available.
