Semiramis Hotel

Athens, Greece

Atmosphere: Lively

One look and it’s obvious that Semiramis is a radical departure from the norm: bold swathes of day-glo color set it immediately apart from the icy cool of most modern boutique hotels, not to mention the monochrome white of the typical Greek luxury hotel. Puzzling, unless you happen to follow contemporary industrial design, in which case two words explain it all: Karim Rashid.
He’s the prince of plastic, the Sultan of sensory overload, maybe Baron von Blobject if you’re inclined to take it a little too far: his designs strive toward a futuristic fusion of the organic and the high-tech, all rendered in colors that move otherwise cool-headed journalists to metaphors about psychotropic drugs. Ironically, he himself dresses entirely and exclusively in ascetic white, the implications of which are probably beyond the scope of this review and frankly beyond the interest of most prospective Semiramis hotel guests.
However unconventional, Semiramis is underneath it all simply a luxury boutique, albeit one imprinted with Rashid’s utopian vision. It’s soft-edged and garishly colored, but beyond that it’s the sort of place you can check into for a weekend or longer without feeling the need to leave — this is fortunate, as its location in the upmarket northern suburb of Kifissia means it’s not exactly in the thick of it all.
So instead of sightseeing or rampaging through some city-center nightclubs, guests avail themselves of luxury-hotel pursuits both traditional and not: they loll by the poolside, take all manner of spa treatments, wander about indoors perusing the owner’s prodigious and ever-rotating art collection, and if they’re design junkies, spend time appreciating some of the most bizarre fixtures and furnishings in any hotel anywhere. Kifissa does have its own modest though upscale collection of shops and restaurants and bars — the Semiramis restaurant, though, is not to be missed, for the artworks, the industrial design, or for that matter the food.

Everything! We went with another couple who were visiting Greece. They had a pool bungalow room with a private garden and we had a superior room with a balcony. Both were fantastic - clean, bright, fun with very comfortable beds. Service was greatl and the restaurant served excellent food. Since we live here, we will definitely visit the restaurant again. Staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. The pool was also clean and very cool - literally and figuratively! Once in the hotel, you really could be anywhere in the world - a real escape. Important note - we did visit in August when the hotel is virtually empty which suited us perfectly. However, according to the concierge, it is considered a business hotel and is very busy the rest of the year, so if you're looking for something quiet, this might not be the place.
What the hotel could do better
Absolutely nothing!

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
