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 had too many words about 2022 for a caption, so I’ve put them all into a blog post. 

My “2022 year in review” is live on The Travelista. It’s a longer, personal blog post about lessons, learnings, achievements and travels from year just gone, as well as my hopes and goals for 2023. I’ve put a link on stories for anyone interested. 😊

17 destinations across 9 countries. My son stepped foot in 3 new countries and I got to bring him on 6 trips with me, including his first cruise. Wow ♥️

I’m finding a new rhythm for travelling with (and sometimes without) a little one and can’t wait for what’s to come in 2023.

Whether you’re new here or you’ve followed my journey for years, thank you so much for being here, for every like, comment and share. It is this amazing, supportive and loyal community that has enabled me to quit my job this year and return to doing this full time again post Covid.

A little snapshot into our Christmas, the first on A little snapshot into our Christmas, the first one in our new home, blending our families and hosting for 9. ☺️🥂 Hope you all had a lovely day 🎄

Merry Christmas from my family to yours ♥️.
Before I sign off for a little Christmas social me Before I sign off for a little Christmas social media break, here’s a festive photo dump of the past week + sharing my favourite poem🕯🎄🥂

Featuring 

➕ A lunch to @bettys with the girls. Making a new tradition. 
➕ A family visit to @castle_howard for their spectacular #IntotheWoods Christmas experience. Phenomenal. We go every year and it just gets better and better.
➕ Carols by candlelight at our local church - magic - but so many layers because the heating was broken!
➕ Dust if you Must by Rose Milligan. The perfect tonic in the (potentially stressful) build up to Christmas. 

We are hosting family this year and I’m excited! I’d love my house to look like a festive show home but it doesn’t, and that’s ok. (I have a 4 year old making mess twice as fast as I can tidy it). 

Fellow hosts, don’t be so busy ‘dusting’ that you miss all the little moments of magic! I’m reminding myself of this too. Swipe to read the poem and you’ll get it. ♥️

Wishing you a perfectly imperfect Christmas 🎄 

Love Jess x

We are all feeling the pinch this year with the rising cost of living, so I set myself a challenge to find gifts for under £30. By shopping at outlets like Junction 32, which has over 80 brands offering up to 60% off the retail price, your money truly does go so much further. ♥️

What gifts I bought;

✔️ Slippers from @radleylondon RRP £40 J32 Price £20
✔️Himalayam charcoal gift set from @thebodyshop RRP £36.00 J32 Price £29.50
✔️Wax cheese wheels from independent retailer @themousehouse_lincoln £3 for £16
✔️Children’s cutlery set from @procookuk RRP £10 J32 Price £7

As usual J32 had some brilliant items on offer and a huge amount of choice, even this far into December.

Have you got any last minute Christmas shopping to do? I think I am finally done! 🛍
