The newest member of the Domotel family, the historic Hotel Kastri in the northern Athenian suburb of Nea Erithrea first started operating in the late 19th century and quickly acquired a reputation as a gathering spot for the Athenian elite.

Nestled in a half-hectare pine grove, the fully renovated Domotel Kastriopened its doors in October 2015 as a luxury boutique hotel, retaining its original architectural style but featuring a contemporary approach to luxury lodging. Guests are welcomed by the retro fountain and the imposing wood-framed entrance, topped by an art-deco metal canopy. Once inside, the atmosphere takes on a more modern feel. The 86 minimally styled rooms of Domotel Kastri – featuring custom-made Italian furnishings

– promise comfort and relaxation.

The Contemporary, the morning restaurant, serves a rich “certified- Greek” breakfast (the Kalimera breakfast), inspired by traditional recipes. The Kastri Bistro (winner of a Toque d’Or for its Greek cuisine in 2016 and 2017), offering a view of the lush copse and well-tended gardens, is open from early morning to late at night, offering selections of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as delightful cocktails at the bar. Within the Kastri Bistro, the Macelleria is a unique space designed

for private meetings and high-end dining with handpicked wines from its well-stocked cellar. Another option for drinks is the contemporary premium bar Point Nord, which features a private garden.

The hotel is ideal not only for city breaks and business travels, but also for conferences, corporate events and training workshops hosted in the state-of-the-art convention center designed by renowned architect Alexandros Tombazis.

The center features a modern amphitheater (the only one of its kind in an Athenian hotel) with three booths for simultaneous translation; a multi-purpose conference hall that can accommodate up to 550 persons with two booths for simultaneous translation; 16 meeting rooms for up to 50 persons each; and four 33-person computer rooms. Also available are a business center and a technical support unit, all resulting in very well-organized events.
