Let's brunch again!

The beloved tradition of Athenians – and beyond – is making a comeback. The city's most renowned brunch is once again commencing at the NEW Hotel.

The vibe, the space, the flavors - everything that made the NEW Hotel brunch a favorite throughout Athens is returning. Starting from the weekends of November, we will meet for brunch once again at 16 Nikodimou and Filellinon Street, within the restaurants of the NEW Hotel, where the pioneering aesthetic of Fernando & Humberto Campana sets the ideal stage for savoring the inspired creations prepared by the executive chef, Babis Kountouris.

For this season, brunch is enriched with dishes infused with Greek flavors: French toast with caramelized traditional tsoureki, loukoumades with vanilla ice cream and raisins marinated in cognac, a traditional pie, kagiana eggs with zucchini and feta from Kalavryta, delicious, fragrant sourdough bread, and much more, all prepared with local ingredients and techniques that evoke memories of typical family Sundays. Of course, the menu also includes classic brunch favorites such as pancakes, freshly baked croissants, and the talk-of-the-town "smashed beef burger" with American Angus beef. Additionally, a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, and the famous "smoothies" await for you to enjoy them in the unique setting of the NEW Hotel restaurants.

All the spaces of the hotel have been carefully designed by the world-renowned design duo from Brazil, the Campana brothers. Known globally for their innovative approach to contemporary design, at the NEW Hotel, they have focused on the reuse and upgrading of recyclable materials – that is also known as “upcycling”. When you combine the pioneering design with the delightful flavors of the brunch, and the hotel's unique location at the entrance of Plaka, you will instantly have the ideal concept for weekend getaways in the city center.

Located between the traditional district of Plaka with its ancient Roman ruins and the more contemporary Kolonaki neighborhood with its modern vibe, galleries and fashion boutiques, NEW Hotel is a bridge between the old and the new. This 79-room & suite design project was led by the award-winning designer duo, Fernando and Humberto Campana in partnership with architectural students from the local University of Thessaly. Working together as a team, they set up a workshop inside the hotel, reinterpreting traditional objects of popular culture identified with the neighborhood and recreating them into three contemporary, artistic room concepts. Historic postcards of Athens, traditional “evil eye” charms and figures of shadow puppet theatre “Karagiozis” from local folklore were given a modern design twist, creating Young, Enthusiastic and Seductive contemporary spaces. The team also focused on restoring the property's original features, 'upcycling' abandoned furniture into something more seductive, more modern and more daring. Using neglected fixtures and furnishings from the previous hotel, the team reworked them into modern pieces, transforming the old and derelict into the contemporary and luxurious. Old wooden pieces of furniture were broken up to create striking art installations in the lobby, the former hotel logo was taken apart to generate individual side tables for the bar and disused chairs and objects were upcycled to become iconic works such as the Tomato, Ladder and Newspaper Chair. New Hotel is one of the city's finest examples of modern architecture.
