NEW Athens and NOUS Santorini both stand out as art and design hotels thanks to collaborations with globally renowned artists, as well as first-in-Greece upcycling projects, and destination experiences that celebrate Greek creators.

Located amid the ruins of ancient Athens, NEW showcases Athenian-inspired art installations – ranging from vintage postcards and the evil-eye amulet to the folklore theater puppet of Karagiozi. Less than an hour flight away is NOUS, a sprawling clifftop resort on the edge of the Santorini caldera, far removed from the capital’s hustle and bustle, with a spa inspired by the ancient Greek principles of wellbeing and self-care that take centerstage at the stunning spa, the largest in the Cycladic islands.

By the Numbers

2 Design Hotels (1 in Athens, 1 in Santorini); NEW features a selection of art pieces from the personal collection of owner Dakis Joannou, one of the world’s most prominent contemporary art collectors and the founder of DESTE Foundation; 2,000 art books in the Art Lounge, overlooking Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill; 15 Greek artists created more than 160 site-specific works for NOUS; the largest spa in the Cycladic islands

Some of our Stories

Way before upcycling was a trend (at least in Greece) NEW Athens' owner Dakis Joannou tapped Brazilian design duo Humberto and (the late) Fernando Campana known for stylish furniture made from cast offs and reclaimed objects

Both properties truly stand out as “art hotels” not only due to the on-site collections, but also with a focus on making art accessible to guests

A NEW Hotel Athens, the 7th-floor Art Lounge offers cocktails, small bites and panoramic city views, as well as more than 2,000 books for guests to borrow

NOUS Santorini features an extensive collection of contemporary works of art by young Greek artists that take inspiration from the island’s history and volcanic nature

Wellness is a major focus at NOUS Santorini; not just an add-on (the property has the largest spa in the Cyclades). Look for local healing ingredients like prickly pear extract, black tea active and goji berry.

Built along a central 164-foot pool - Santorini’s largest, the bungalows and suites and clustered in distinct “neighborhoods”
