In a city where history and modern energy collide, Periscope Hotel offers a refined yet vibrant urban retreat. Located in the upscale Kolonaki neighbourhood — Athens’ most exclusive district — the hotel defines itself as “the antidote to the ordinary city hotel,” combining contemporary design, award-winning architecture and a curated aesthetic that suits travellers seeking style, comfort and a distinctive atmosphere.
A Design-Driven Stay: Rooms & Suites
Periscope features 22 guestrooms, ranging from compact standard rooms to larger suites and a two-level Penthouse.
Standard Rooms (≈ 22 m²): soundproof, wooden floors, modern glass-shower bathrooms, and a striking photograph of Lycabettus at night as part of the room décor — offering a touch of Athenian identity even inside the room.
Superior Rooms (≈ 25 m²): similarly equipped with wooden floors and modern showers, with aerial photographs of Athens printed on the ceilings — reinforcing the sense of place immersed in the city’s landscape.
Junior Suites (≈ 45 m²): located on upper floors, with separate seating area and large balcony — ideal for guests who want extra space and comfort.
Penthouse Suite (≈ 65 m², two-level): a standout option for those desiring a more spacious, luxurious stay — featuring open living/office space and a long balcony running along the suite.
Throughout the hotel, the décor and design elements reflect a thoughtful dialogue with urban Athens: art pieces, installations and city-inspired visuals make the rooms more than mere sleep-spaces — they are part of a broader aesthetic vision.
Lounge & Ambience — More Than Just a Hotel Lobby
Periscope’s lounge is designed to be a calm, sophisticated sanctuary amid city bustle — minimalistic yet elegant, blending modern interiors with subtle artistic touches.
Guests are welcome to enjoy a buffet-style continental breakfast each morning, and throughout the day they can access fruits, beverages and light refreshments in a relaxed, executive-style lounge setting.
This lounge space — with its calm, art-infused atmosphere — is well suited not only for leisurely breaks, but also for travellers blending business and comfort: a spot to unwind, catch up on emails, or simply take a pause after exploring the city.
Location & Lifestyle — Kolonaki as Your Urban Playground
Choosing Periscope means staying in one of Athens’ most chic and culturally vibrant neighborhoods. Kolonaki is known for upscale shopping, elegant cafés, art galleries and a lively urban pulse — everything from refined design boutiques to charming local bars is within walking reach.

Whether you plan to stroll through stylish streets, discover art spots, or combine business with leisure, the hotel’s central and refined setting adds value to your stay.
