For the final two nights of our trip, we stayed at Moxy Hotel in Athens. Located in the heart of the city, this modern and vibrant hotel was the perfect choice to close out our Greek adventure. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with the Moxy’s signature mix of youthful energy and stylish design. It was clear that this wasn’t just any ordinary hotel stay.
The hotel’s lobby immediately set the tone with its lively atmosphere, featuring bold décor, playful lighting, and a mix of cozy seating areas. The check-in process was seamless, and we were even greeted with a welcome drink. The staff’s enthusiasm and friendliness made us feel right at home.
Our room was a reflection of Moxy’s contemporary aesthetic—compact yet thoughtfully designed. The sleek, minimalist furnishings were complemented by tech-savvy amenities like USB charging ports, a flat-screen TV, and fast Wi-Fi. The room had a trendy, industrial vibe, with smart storage solutions that made the space feel comfortable. It was tight, but cozy despite its modest size. The bed, however, was a standout: incredibly plush and perfect for sinking into after a long day of exploring Athens.
One of the highlights of our stay was the Moxy’s communal spaces. The hotel’s lounge area doubled as a café by day and a bar by night, where we enjoyed both morning coffee and breakfast. The vibrant atmosphere was also a bit chaotic, with visitors bustling for breakfast. The communal setting made finding a spot to relax with breakfast a bit cumbersome. The rooftop terrace also provided fantastic views of the city, offering a perfect spot to reflect on our journey while soaking in Athens’ skyline.
Moxy’s location couldn’t have been more convenient. We found ourselves within walking distance of some of Athens’ most iconic landmarks, including the Acropolis, Plaka, and Syntagma Square. This allowed us to maximize our last couple of days in Athens, strolling through the historic streets and immersing ourselves in the city’s unique blend of ancient and modern culture.
Our stay at Moxy Hotel was an interesting way to end our time in Greece. The hotel’s chic, fun, and welcoming atmosphere made it a memorable experience. I am not sure this type of hotel is my cup of tea, but it was upbeat and interesting. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or visiting with friends, Moxy Hotel offers a stylish and comfortable base for exploring this captivating city. I think I will likely stick to more traditional Marriott properties in the future.
