Sunday, September 15, 2024 Athens’ luxury scene is soaring, with The Dolli at the forefront of a five-star hotel boom, blending rich history, art, and elegance for an unforgettable experience. Athens has experienced a remarkable transformation in its culinary and hospitality sectors, now boasting 31 five-star hotels—more than doubling from just 15 eight years ago. According to The Wall Street Journal, Athens may be Greece’s most underrated destination, a sentiment I wholeheartedly share.
After spending several long weekends uncovering its rich history and dynamic culture, it’s clear the city deserves far more attention. Leading this surge in luxury is The Dolli, an absolute gem for those seeking indulgence. Whether you’re stopping in Athens for a brief getaway, en route to Israel, or as a prelude to island hopping, The Dolli promises an unforgettable stay.
Recognized as having one of the world’s best pools by Condé Nast Traveler and ranked among Athens’ top hotels by Vogue, The Dolli has garnered accolades that are truly well-deserved. I could go on about its many awards over the past year, but the highlights alone are impressive enough. Set in a neoclassical mansion from 1925, this boutique hotel offers 46 exclusive suites with breathtaking views of the Acropolis and Parthenon.
The Dolli’s restoration is a testament to its architectural heritage, crafted with exceptional attention to detail. The lobby itself is an art connoisseur’s dream, featuring pieces.
