The Times Recognizes Aria Hotels’ Athens 1890 Hotel & Spa as a Top Hotel in Athens

June 18, 2026

[June 18, 2026] — Aria Hotels, Libra Group’s Greek-born hospitality subsidiary with properties across Greece and Latin America, has been recognized by The Times in its selection of the “best hotels in Athens for 2026 & beyond,” with Aria’s Athens 1890 Hotel & Spa featured among the city’s standout stays.

Located in the heart of the city center, Athens 1890 Hotel & Spa offers a refined base for exploring the city, bringing together historic architecture, modern comfort, and the thoughtful hospitality that defines the Aria Hotels experience.

The property is also home to the newly opened 1890 Restaurant, a fine dining destination led by Executive Chef Chris Sidiropoulos, whose international experience and strong classical foundation shape the restaurant’s philosophy.

As The Times wrote: “Suave and sultry, this 14-room boutique hotel parks you on the doorstep of the prettiest downtown precinct in Athens: Agia Irini Square (ground zero for groovy bars and pavement dining). It’s directly opposite the church of Agia Irini in an old textile store with a neoclassical façade, and you’ll fall asleep staring up at exquisitely sculpted ceilings decorated with classical motifs in ultra-smart rooms with stencilled wood fixtures and glass-topped showers.”
