Luxury hospitality group Mandarin Oriental has announced that it will debut in the Greek capital of Athens.
Mandarin Oriental, Athens will be located on the shoreline of the city and just a 15-minute drive from the centre. The hotel and residences are set to open in the summer of 2027, within The Ellinikon. This is one of the largest sustainably built urban regeneration projects in Europe, and Mandarin Oriental, Athens will be at its centre. The 8 billion euros redevelopment will bring new life to this area of the city.
Mandarin Oriental, Athens will feature 123 guest rooms and suites in addition to 17 branded residences, including waterfront villas and apartments. A range of dining options will be offered in several food and beverage outlets, making it a destination for locals and visitors alike.
We are delighted to be working with TEMES SA and Lamda Development SA on this project. I am confident, that with this location and our legendary service, Mandarin Oriental, Athens will be the leading luxury hospitality hub for both travellers and Athenian residents.
