Detailed Review
In a city known for its ancient past, the Semiramis is a hotel of the future. Facing a tranquil green park in the Kifissia area of north Athens, the hotel is the creation of designer, Karim Rashid, well-known for his fluid, soft style that mingles rounded forms with bright, lively colours.
The Semiramis is no exception to this; all its 52 guestrooms and public areas carry Rashid's distinctive signature. Light pinks and greens, oranges and subtle yellows are reproduced in walls, floors, furnishings and fittings for an energetic atmosphere. Frosted-glass bathrooms make for extra space and daylight. Balconies and verandas offer pool or park views.
To help the Semiramis' global guests stay in touch with the world or the office - internet TVs complete with cordless keyboards come as standard. For more local interaction, guests can check out the hotel's two-level restaurant and bar, where the modern Greek, European and international flavours of the menu are mirrored in the cosmopolitan blend that make up the Semiramis' clientele.
Press Quotes
"Located in the heart of the hip, leafy suburb of Kifissia, Semiramis Hotel is the candy – colored fantasy of renowned designer Karim Rashid. ..It is a playful building where lime green translucent balconies hover over an amoeba shaped pool and works from the enfant terribles of the modern art world rub shoulders in the lobby.” The Sunday Telegraph 06
