The vibrant city of Thessaloniki, often hailed as the "jewel of the Greek North," has long been a treasure trove of culture, history, and beauty. Recently, this city has welcomed a new addition that promises to elevate the experience of both seasoned visitors and first-time explorers alike: MonAsty Thessaloniki, a luxurious hotel that is now a proud member of the Marriott Autograph Collection.
Nestled in the center of Thessaloníki, MonAsty, Thessaloniki, Autograph Collection is just a stone's throw from Aristotelous Square. This prime location lets guests easily reach the city's most beloved attractions, from the historic White Tower and the vibrant Modiano Market to the bustling shopping streets and lively waterfront promenade.
The name MonAsty is a fusion of the words "Mon," referencing the nearby monastery, and "Asty," an ancient Greek term meaning "city." This unique blend is a nod to the hotel's commitment to preserving and celebrating Thessaloniki's historical and cultural legacy. Created by the acclaimed Not a Number Architects, the interiors of MonAsty draw deep inspiration from the city's Byzantine heritage.
The hotel's 91 rooms and nine suites are a masterclass in stylish comfort. Cream and bronze tones create a warm, inviting atmosphere of timeless elegance. Every detail, from the luxurious bedding to the thoughtfully curated décor, has been carefully selected to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay.
A stay at MonAsty is not complete without indulging in the culinary delights offered at Botargo, the hotel's on-site concept restaurant. Named after a delicacy enjoyed during the Byzantine era, Botargo experiments with and advances monastic culinary traditions, offering a sophisticated dining experience that is innovative and deeply rooted in history.
Botargo is the brainchild of renowned chef and restaurateur George Stylianoudakis, who, along with head chef Kostas Bodiatsis, has crafted a menu that celebrates modern Greek urban cuisine with creative flair. The restaurant's dishes are a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Greece, elevated with contemporary techniques and presentations. Complementing the exquisite cuisine is a carefully curated wine list featuring selections from Greece's premier vineyards.
MonAsty Thessaloniki is not just a place to rest your head; it's a destination where you can unwind, rejuvenate, and indulge in the finer things in life. The hotel's communal spaces are designed for relaxation and social interaction, with highlights including an outdoor pool, an all-day lounge, and a rooftop bar.
The rooftop bar is particularly noteworthy. It offers breathtaking city skyline views as you sip on expertly crafted cocktails and enjoy Mediterranean comfort fusion cuisine. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely breakfast, a light lunch, or a romantic dinner under the stars, the rooftop bar at MonAsty provides an extraordinary culinary experience in a magical setting.
For those seeking to maintain their fitness routine while traveling, the hotel's state-of-the-art fitness center is available 24/7.
Beyond leisure and relaxation, MonAsty Thessaloniki is also a great destination for business meetings and social events. The hotel has a range of facilities, including private dining options, lounges, and meeting and conference rooms, all equipped with the latest technology and amenities.
