Radisson Blu Park Hotel: the ‘Natural’ Choice

Greece Is | January 22nd, 2016

The hotel's interior design philosophy has borrowed elements from the park outside and brought them indoors.

The first urban nature hotel in Athens.

LOCATION

On one of the busiest avenues bordering the city center, right across from Pedio Areos park.

BACKGROUND

Park Hotel first opened its doors on this very spot in 1976 and for 35 years the neighboring Pedio Areos (Field of Mars) park has been instrumental in shaping the character of the hotel. During its renovation and consequent rebirth ‒ after the hotel chain Radisson took over ‒ the design team thought of paying tribute to the park by transferring it inside, so to speak.

In the lobby amidst modern leather sofas, pale tree-trunks serve as elegant pillars, while the canvas of scattered leaves on the ceiling gently alternates colors just like seasons do.

Stylishly decorated spaces where business and leisure can be combined.

FEATURES

The hotel offers spacious rooms and suites with views to the city, the park or the Acropolis, all decorated with the concept of urban nature in mind. During the summer months, guests can make use of the rooftop swimming pool, a perfect place for recreation with amazing views of the city and the Parthenon.

The newly renovated meeting rooms, the theatrical Silver Forest and the futuristic Atlantis, along with the Greek Garden VIP room, guarantee a successful and memorable social or business event thanks to the latest audiovisual technology and the dedication of the meetings and events staff.
