In his speech, Mr. Evripides Tzikas, General Manager of Athens Capital Hotel & Athens Capital Suites, stated:

Athens Capital Suites represents our next step – a promise of enhanced comfort, privacy, and tailor-made hospitality experiences.”
Mrs. Chloé Laskaridis, President of LAMPSA S.A., stated:
“We are inaugurating a project that has certainly not been without its challenges — owing to its location in the centre of Athens and the complexities that come with restoring a listed heritage property. The end result, however, has surpassed our expectations. We are immensely proud to be introducing a new and truly distinctive hospitality offering, which we believe will soon become a point of reference within Athens’ hotel scene.”
Mrs. Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems – Accor Executive Committee Member, also remarked:
“It is a very special moment, since it is the first time I am inaugurating an extension, and for this reason, this event will hold a very special place in my heart. We stand here to celebrate the opening of Athens Capital Suites – MGallery Collection, with 19 beautiful and individually designed suites, added to a hotel whose performance has already placed it at the top of our list of best performing MGallery hotels worldwide. Tonight is also the embodiment of something I deeply believe in: the virtuous circle we build with our owners over time.”
Athens Capital Suites – MGallery Collection is the latest luxurious extension of Athens Capital Hotel, enhancing the guest experience with 19 elegant suites, including the impressive two-story Presidential Suite featuring a private rooftop terrace. Guests enjoy supreme comfort and refined aesthetics inspired by Athenian neoclassical architecture, combined with bespoke, high-standard services.
