This Grecian outpost of the hipster Marriott Bonvoy brand Moxy is both vibe-y and no frills, but this is a real city hotel. The lobby bar is an ingenious use of space, also serving as a restaurant, a check-in counter, a convenience store and breakfast nook. It all feels like an Athenian Cheers. The transformation from backpacker-like outpost to cafeteria style brunch buffet here is an especially wild occurrence, complete with Homer Simpson pink donuts. Located downtown, the 200-room hotel features accommodations designed for modern travelers like lightning speed Wi-Fi and 50-inch full HD flat screen TVs with screen casting ability and built-in USB ports.

What’s your favorite design element on property?
My favorite design element has to be the diverse art scattered throughout the hotel. From the bespoke pieces by artist B. in our rooms to the dynamic artworks by SimpleG in our meeting spaces, every corner is a visual treat. Moxy Athens City is where urban vibes and artistic flair meet. We host monthly exhibitions featuring both emerging and established artists in our arcade.
What special perk or amenity do you offer that no one knows about?
Every guest is greeted with Moxy pink sprinkled donuts in their room upon check-in. It’s our way of saying ‘welcome’ with a dash of sweetness.
