MELISSI

A VIBRANT & ELEGANT BAR

Central to the hotel’s immense lobby and lounge is the Melissi Bar, a sophisticated watering hole,
characterized by a retro elegance. The fully renovated elongated bar is a spot where idling is not
only facilitated, it’s encouraged. Gio-Ponti-inspired interiors manifest in the form of textured
aquamarine tiles that snake around the entirety of the bar, while two colossal curvilinear
brass-accented units are suspended from the ceiling and accommodate spirits. The clean lines,
gentle organic curves and dramatic use of colour and texture set an elegant backdrop
to a drinks’ menu suited to both pre- and post-prandial outings.

From creative, hand-crafted cocktails by award-winning mixologist Aristotelis Papadopoulos – built around local,
seasonal, quality ingredients – and updated versions of classic drinks to a wine list focused on young Greek wineries,
a relaxed, timeless energy is the key ingredient here.

Opening Hours: 10:15 – 01:00
