Among many other exquisite delicatessen and limited edition fashion items
Don’t go further than the new Luxury Concierge flagship store inside the iconic Hilton Athens Hotel.
This pioneering space was designed by Mr. Tasos Zeppos and the zege architects. This area combines in complete harmony high-quality travel services, bespoke concierge services for the Hotel’s residents and gourmet products like the Thesauri Caviar, which is the first Greek to be farmed and produced in Greece, fresh wild Truffles, the famous Bottarga of Mesologgi P.D.O., FIR honey from Mainalon and many other rare and exquisite delicatessen products.
Extravagant and limited edition fashion items both for her and him, sunglasses from the most famous brands in collaboration with Orama Eyewear and decorative items such Mr George from Mr & Mrs Fragrance, the well known candles True Grace, Kobo and Capri Blue, are available for the customers of Luxury Concierge.
There is also a variety of exclusive products that came from London and Paris specially for the opening of the flagship store.
Starting with the Laduree macarons of Raphael Castoriano for Marina Abramovic, moving to the ten packages of the limited edition Kusmi Tea for Alain Ducasse and the globally sold out No1 Rosemary Water, these products made the impression.
Art advisor Raphaël Castoriano chose Marina Abramovic as the first subject to introduce his concept of the Pastry Portrait Collection because of her affinity for the intangible and the immaterial. Working with top pastry and macaron maker Ladurée, the Pastry Portrait opened the possibility for Abramovic to enter into a new mode of representation, capturing her history and who she is from the perspective of taste.
Three Prussian Blue macarons are stamped with Abramovic’s “Coat of Honor,” her father’s family crest which represents the delicate balance between fragility and strength. The particular shade of blue of the macarons is tied to Abramovic’s memory of her parents who were war heroes. The macarons, one of which is wrapped in gold leaf, are nestled inside a pyramid-shaped box, a shape whose origin lies in freemasonry, a symbol of energy and power. Abramovic’s crest is embossed in gold on the front with her signature below; more than just a box of macarons, it is an object that represents a conceptual artwork, emphasizing the performative experience of tasting the artist.
After the opening ceremony, a sparkling caviar, truffle and champagne cocktail party followed in the Aethrion lounge area of the Hotel, which will shortly reopen its doors with a unique concept.
