CONNECTING THE WORLD TO AUTHENTIC MODERN ATHENS
Infused with the energy and soul of contemporary modern Athens, The Ilisian will be a multifaceted destination for visitors and residents alike. A home for the boundless creativity, sophisticated flavors and dynamic spirit of modern Athens. A curated environment that fosters community and innovation.
Featuring a blend of local and international concepts, many for the first time in Athens, The Ilisian aims to introduce its guests to the true character of the city and present them with a new version of a contemporary urban lifestyle.
The future is being purposely designed to honor and cherish the heritage and legacy of the past. The large-scale redevelopment, currently in progress, will solidify the evolution of the building’s identity, while preserving and further highlighting its architectural heritage.
EMBRACING THE STORY OF THE AREA
An organic part of the city’s fabric, The Ilisian is of and for its neighborhood.
Named after the Ilisos river, on whose idyllic banks Socrates once taught and – in Greek mythology – the Muses lived, the Ilisia neighborhood is where the city’s rich history and vibrant modernity intersect.
The Ilisian aspires to be an inspirational meeting point that connects people, stories, and ideas. A vibrant, exciting, and cosmopolitan destination, yet one that retains an informal, refined local charm.
CARVING THE NEXT DAY
The front façade of the building features three fundamental concepts that define this unique city destination experience:
Togetherness
“Togetherness” is about bringing together the people of Athens and its visitors. Reaching out to the city’s creative forces to form synergies that further elevate modern Athens.
Aesthetics
An appreciation of beauty in all its forms. The building will embrace timeless as well as contemporary expressions of beauty in its spaces and experiences offered.
