"Contemporary design hotel on the main plaza of a leafy suburb. Flamboyant colour schemes feature inside and out, and are complemented by vibrant modern furnishings."

Concierge
"Most objects in the 52 rooms here are amoeba-shaped and electric-ice-cream-colored—because this is Karim Rashid's first hotel, and that is what he does."
Travel + Leisure
"This is an ideal base for schmoozing, but not for sightseeing—it’s a 35-minute metro ride from the city center." Full review

"The helpful Nikoloulias family’s pension has an enviable location on a quiet cul-de-sac."
