YOTELPAD Athens: Redefining Urban Living
YOTEL, the renowned hospitality brand recognized for its innovative and tech-centric hotels, has officially announced its expansion into Greece with the upcoming YOTELPAD Athens. This new venture will revolutionize urban accommodation by merging hotel services with the comforts and flexibility of apartment living.
A Bold Step in Greece
Scheduled to open in the last quarter of 2026, YOTELPAD Athens marks a significant milestone for the brand as it enters a market ripe for innovative extended-stay solutions. The aparthotel will feature 113 stylish living units, situated across three strategically located buildings in Athens—Miltiadou in Monastiraki, Iras in Neos Kosmos, and Peiraios in Omonoia.
Valpre Capital, the London-based investment firm behind this project, is actively transforming these properties into modern urban spaces that embody the design philosophy and advanced technology that YOTEL is known for. This collaboration aims to deliver a high-quality living experience tailored to both leisure and business travelers.
Tailored to Diverse Guests
Each building is positioned to cater to a varied mix of guests. Miltiadou is located near Syntagma Square, making it an ideal choice for corporate travelers and those looking to explore the historic sites of the Monastiraki district. Peiraios offers a flagship location in the dynamic Omonoia area, which is undergoing significant urban renewal. Lastly, Iras provides a more residential atmosphere in Neos Kosmos, perfect for extended stays while enjoying magnificent views of the Acropolis.
Rohan Thakkar, YOTEL's Chief Development Officer, emphasizes that Athens is a vibrant metropolis where ancient history coexists with creative modernity. With the rise in international visitors and hotel occupancy, as well as recent regulations on short-term rentals, the market is primed for YOTELPAD Athens’s introduction. “Our concept will not just meet the demand for flexible living in the city but reinvent it,” he remarks.
Signature Amenities
YOTELPAD Athens will not only provide stylish living spaces but will also offer a suite of amenities designed to enhance guest convenience and comfort. The facilities include YOTELPAD's Mission Control, a Grab+Go area, Wash+Go services, and fully equipped fitness centers. Additionally, the Peiraios building will feature a rooftop terrace with stunning panoramic views of Athens, creating a unique spot for relaxation and social gatherings.
Commitment to Modern Hospitality
At the heart of YOTEL's mission is a commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality experiences that blend design, technology, and personalized service. YOTELPAD Athens aims to be at the forefront of this vision by providing guests with smart, efficient living spaces that cater to the needs of modern travelers.
Ahmad Hariri, Managing Partner at Valpre Capital, shares his excitement about the project's potential, viewing Athens as an international hotspot with significant growth opportunities in the extended-stay segment. He believes that the partnership with YOTEL will create a unique hospitality offering that resonates with the city’s lively character while introducing a fresh perspective.
A Look Ahead
YOTELPAD Athens follows the successful launch of YOTELPAD London Stratford and is part of a broader strategy to expand in key global markets, including Southeast Asia. The brand is set to reinforce its leadership position in urban hospitality, responding to the evolving demands of travelers who seek comfort and innovation in their accommodations.
With YOTELPAD Athens, guests can expect an authentic experience that integrates seamlessly into the vibrant life of Athens, paving the way for a new era of urban living. As preparations continue for the grand opening, this initiative marks an exciting chapter in YOTEL's journey, bringing its unique ethos of ‘Non-Stop’ hospitality to Greece.
