Santikos Collection is expanding this summer with its first city opening in the port of Piraeus on the Athens Riviera.
Just 15 minutes from the city centre, The Alex will become the Collection’s fifth property within its portfolio, joining Marpunta Resort on the island of Alonnisos, Santikos Mansion in the Pelion region and the Aegean Suites and Princess, both located on Skiathos.
The property will house 34 rooms and suites offering far reaching views of the Athens Riviera, Stavros Niarchos and the Acropolis. There will be a café/bar area on the ground floor, and a rooftop bar and restaurant.
The Alex is opening on the Athens Riviera in the summer
Piraeus, bursting with archaeological treasures and a host of bars and fantastic restaurants scattered along the marina front, is one of the oldest parts of Attica and is currently going through a revival and surge in popularity.
Says Katerina Santikou of the Santikos Collection: “We are hugely excited for the opening of our first city hotel. Location is everything and we have found the perfect spot with 180-degree views of the Athens Coast.
“Location is everything and we have found the perfect spot”
“We are in the throes of creating a simple, yet luxurious, laid-back space that will attract a young professional, local and international audience. The communal spaces will be lively and vibrant, and visitors can choose between cultural day trips to Athens or islands such as Hydra & Spetses.”
Nightly rates at The Alex will start from £110.
