The place

A 1950s textile factory in Psirri, kept honest. The iron staircase remains, along with the exposed walls and terrazzo floors. Vintage furniture and terracotta pots sit easily against the industrial bones.

The twenty rooms and suites carry the same rawness. Each is fitted with hand-commissioned furniture, original artwork, and custom rugs. In some, a velvet daybed and a Corian bathtub set a quieter, more theatrical note.

Downstairs, the multi-level lobby doubles as lounge and cafe, with occasional sessions by world-class chefs. Above, a rooftop open to the city. Below, a bar that keeps to the dark.
