The House of NYNN Opens at THE ILISIAN: Where Athens Gets Its Groove Back—in Style
Athenians have long known this building as the historic Hilton Athens — but today, it enters a new era as The Ilisian, housing the newly opened House of Nynn Hotel. This transformation blends the city’s rich history with bold contemporary design, marking one of the most important hospitality openings in Greece
With the launch of the House of NYNN at THE ILISIAN, the Greek capital welcomes a new kind of urban sanctuary—equal parts private club, lifestyle laboratory, and aesthetic playground. It’s not just a space. It’s a statement.
The New Athens, Embodied
House of Nynn Athens hotel lobby with dramatic design
You’ll find THE ILISIAN in the heart of the leafy Ilisia district, an architectural rebirth of an iconic Athenian landmark—elegantly reincarnated as a multi-dimensional destination where hospitality, culture, and creativity converge. Think next-gen luxury, but with a distinctly Hellenic soul.
At the center of this ambitious vision? The House of NYNN, the city’s first modern members’ club—a concept more akin to the trendsetting social hubs of London and New York than anything Athens has seen before. But make no mistake: this isn’t copy-paste cosmopolitanism. This is Athens on its own terms.
Inside the House: Where Every Room Tells a Story
Spread across 5,500 sqm of exquisitely designed interiors and 3,000 sqm of verdant outdoor spaces, the House of NYNN is more than the sum of its parts—it’s an ecosystem of elegance. Four key areas unfold like chapters in a beautifully edited lifestyle journal.
The Living Room: The Beating Heart
This all-day social salon is where conversation flows as easily as the cocktails. With a curated ambiance that walks the line between residential chic and discreet opulence, it’s a space for lounging, mingling, or simply observing Athens’ creative class in its natural habitat.
The Forum: Work, But Make It Sublime
Hybrid work has found its high-design home. The Forum is a co-working and meeting space that swaps fluorescent lighting and sad desk lunches for natural textures, intuitive acoustics, and beautifully brewed Greek coffee. Here, ideas don’t just spark—they ignite.
The Wellness Floor: Total Body Reset
Descending into the lower level reveals the Wellness Floor, a serene, tech-forward sanctum for body and soul. From data-driven fitness programs to holistic therapies, this is where high performance meets deep restoration. Expect curated playlists, infrared saunas, and trainers who know your VO2 max better than your star sign.
The Oasis: A Lush Urban Hideaway
And then there’s the Oasis—a sun-drenched outdoor haven surrounding what is poised to become the most Instagrammed pool in Athens. Dappled light, curated flora, and design-led lounging create a Riviera-esque vibe without ever leaving the city.
A Club With a Mission: Cosmopolitanism with a Pulse
The House of NYNN isn’t just offering luxury; it’s curating meaningful connection and elevated experience. Gastronomy, wellness, culture, and design come together with a focus on “ευζωία”—the Greek notion of living well. It’s the kind of place where members might discuss film theory after a reformer Pilates session, or debate politics over an organic brunch. This is slow living for fast thinkers. And as the first concept by NYNN, the new hospitality and wellness brand by TEMES S.A., it sets the tone for more immersive lifestyle experiences to come.
A New Identity for Athens
With its debut, House of NYNN signals a shift. A city once defined by its past is now embracing a chic, creative present—and inviting the world to join in. This is not merely a space for members; it’s a lighthouse for a new Athenian identity: modern, stylish, and globally relevant. House of NYNN forms part of THE ILISIAN, the ambitious transformation of the former Hilton Athens into a new luxury destination.
In the ever-evolving world of stylish hotel living, House of NYNN isn’t just a hotspot—it’s the heartbeat of a new urban rhythm. As the vanguard of THE ILISIAN’s grand narrative, it sets the tone for a property destined to redefine luxury in the Greek capital. If you’re the kind of traveler (or local) who likes your luxury with a dose of soul and your spaces infused with story, put House of NYNN on your radar—if not your social calendar.
