Great Design for ‘Great Living Apartments’ in Athens
Situated at the foot of the ever-impressive Acropolis of Athens, in the Koukaki area of the Greek capital, is a boutique hotel called ‘Great Living Apartments’, a name that exudes a certain amount of confidence and self-assurance. BoConcept had the privilege of bringing our signature blend of modern Danish design and functional elegance to this well-loved hotel.
This project is a testament to our ability to create sophisticated living spaces that resonate with both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.
The ’great living’ part has proven to be true. At least, that is what hundreds of guests express when they pass on their review after a stay at the hotel. ‘The apartment was very cosy – loved the décor’, ‘A comfortable and spacious retreat’, ‘Probably the best deal I’ve ever booked’, ‘It offers most advantages of a hotel while adding the privileges of having your ‘own place’ etc. Looking back six years after completion, it seems the hotel has proven to do something right.
Hotel manager Yannis Aistidou says, ‘Partnering with BoConcept from the start gave us a strong foundation. BoConcept furniture is timeless, functional, and value for money, and it’s been key to our success over the past six years’. Expressing his belief in the importance of implementing durable design furniture. Aristidou is convinced that the furniture choice has had a direct influence on why the hotel is always fully booked.
The furnishing we provide includes dining chairs, sofas, and coffee tables, as well as an array of accessories like cushions and ceramics, adding charm and elegance.
Coming back to the hotel name, it seems that, already from the start, a lot of thought went into what type of experience the hotel owners wanted to offer their guests. That kind of openness towards clients’ interests is something they share with BoConcept; the value of listening to the market and responding with something qualitative and long-lasting. ‘BoConcept’s balance of aesthetics and durability perfectly fits to our guests’ expectations. Our focus is on offering an excellent experience to our guests,’ adds Aristidou.
Set in an elegant and discrete building, the interior of the hotel corresponds with what you’re welcomed with from the outside. Toned-down bright colour shades of white, beige, and sand create the backdrop of the entire hotel, while blue is dotted around as an ode to the local culture. All wooden elements are kept in light hues, offering a simple Scandinavian feel. The idea was to combine the local history with BoConcept’s timeless aesthetics, including natural materials, bright interiors, and lounging outdoor spaces. All carried out by local interior architect, Fani Partheniou.
The choice to add inviting finishing touches such as unique art installations, books, and plants enhances the overall sophistication and welcoming atmosphere,
The result is a series of beautifully furnished spaces that embody the essence of modern luxury, with every detail meticulously planned and executed. This project in Athens is yet another example of how BoConcept transforms spaces into extraordinary living environments, blending form and function in a way that offer guests an idyllic home away from home.
