Boutique Bliss at The New Hotel, Athens

24/03/17 ᛫ 4 Comments

You probably know by now that I am picky when it comes to hotels. I want to my hotels to be boutique, luxurious and above all, in a fantastic location. When choosing a hotel, I really do my research and prefer to trust personal recommendations rather than opinionated Trip Advisor stories.

For my upcoming trip to Athens, I reached out to a contact who is based on the Greek island of Kefalonia for a recommendation. My contact regularly visits Athens on business and he told me he stays at The New Hotel every time. After weighing up a few other options, I decided to make The New Hotel my first choice. And after experiencing The New Hotel for myself, I would happily recommend it to you too.

I stayed at The New Hotel for 3 nights during my city break to Athens in early March and it ticked every box for me. Firstly, the location is perfect. On one side, it’s a 5-minute walk to Syntagma Square which is Athen’s grand Parlimentary square. Connected to this square is the main shopping street of Ermou. It’s also nestled on the edge of Plaka, Athens’ picturesque and charming Old Town which is a must-visit for all tourists. Being based at The New Hotel makes everything walking distance in Athens.

Secondly, The New Hotel is as boutique as they come. With fascinating features and creative furnishings, it’s one of the coolest design hotels I’ve ever stayed in. All the details feel one-of-a-kind and made to measure, which adds to the premium feel of the hotel.

Thirdly, the hotel felt wonderfully luxurious. There is a spa with a menu of heavenly treatments and the service from all the staff is five star and above. The receptionists at the front desk are happy to help you plan your day, book your dinner reservations and provide really handy directions. Nothing felt too much trouble.

Our stylish corner room had two spacious balconies and floor to ceiling windows, meaning the Athens sunshine poured in from sunrise. On our first morning at the hotel I got up super early and managed to catch the first golden glow of the day. Adorned in bright gold features, our bathroom definitely had the Midas touch and was a design feature in itself. Another box ticked for me.

The wonderful breakfast buffet is available alongside a small menu of made-to-order dishes. The cappuccinos are poured to perfection and the freshly baked croissants are heaven on a plate. I indulged in one every morning of our stay!

I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for introducing me to wild swimming. She lives here in the Lakes and is an all-seasons pro. At first I was intrigued by her new hobby but equally I thought she was totally mad.

With 8 wild swims under my belt now I’ve definitely grown in confidence and really crave the rush of endorphins it brings. It’s such a visceral experience that pushes your body and then rewards it. There are also so many mental health benefits to wild swimming too. 

Here are Naomi’s 6 top tips if you are a beginner and want to give wild swimming a try:

1. Make sure you have a safe entry and exit point
2. Be mindful of any currents or tides. Lakes are safest as they have neither. 
3. Never swim alone. Always go with someone else.
4. Wear swim booties to protect your feet from rough ground. 
5. Remember mindfulness - try to be present in the moment, noticing what you can hear, smell, see, feel. You can’t get closer to nature than this. 
6. Make sure you have a towel and warm, dry clothing to put on immediately after swimming. 

Would you ever try wild / cold water swimming? Or are you already converted? 💬

The penthouse currently sells at an eye watering $10,084 a night, which we absolutely did not pay. 

For full disclosure, this was not a PR / press stay. My friend booked a loft suite and the penthouse upgrade was a surprise as the lovely reception staff noticed it was her birthday during our stay. We did not mention our social media accounts or my blog so this stroke of luck was 100% organic! 

Before booking the Edition NYC we saw online that the hotel regularly upgrades its guests whenever possible. We were hopeful but never ever expected they’d upgrade us to the penthouse! 

Insider tip: the generous upgrades are definitely a reason to stay at The Edition when you’re next in NYC.
