Esse Athens

Right in the historic heart of the Greek capital, ESSE Athens emerges as an inspired haven for temporary stays. This collection of luxury suites in Plaka is a modern-day tapestry of urbanity comprised of design-forward spaces to sleep well, eat better, and live great. Positioned opposite the oldest house of downtown Athens, on the street named after it, that of Benizelou, ESSE places you between the Acropolis rock and the Cathedral, the perfect base to explore the city’s sights and sounds. One door over, invites you to enjoy breakfast before venturing out to discover the city at your own pace. Return to enjoy some intentional downtime in the lavish comfort of your suite and wake up to seize the day all over again. ESSE Athens offers savvy city travellers an urban haven that harmoniously blends urbanity and nostalgia, with the quintessential charm and convenience of location. The reconstructed facade, echoing the original grandiose marble, follows through into the lavish interiors and the hand-tiled marble showers. A touch of 70’s flair has been sleekly incorporated into the otherwise modern design of its elegant suites crafted for 2, that showcase materials, colours, and textures inspired by the urban landscape of Athens city. Upstairs, the Acropolis view captures the city’s timeless magic, in a laissez-faire way with a furnished, open space for lounging in landmark and skyline views over the district of Plaka and the Athens Cathedral. One door over, the culinary sensation of Taya Bistro, welcomes you for breakfasts and all-day comfort cuisine. ESSE Athens situates guests in Plaka, one of Athens’ most historic and picturesque neighborhoods, precisely opposite the oldest house in the area, the Benizelon Mansion. Plaka is a vibrant locale at the base of the Acropolis rock lined with neo-classical buildings, colourful tourist shops, and a diverse array of cafes, restaurants, tavernas and bars.
