The Ilisian, Conrad Athens & Waldorf Astoria Residences (Athens, Nov 2025)

Slated to reopen in late 2025 after a €130 million transformation, the former Athens Hilton becomes The Ilisian, housing both Conrad Athens and Waldorf Astoria residences within one of the city’s most architectural landmarks.

Located on Vassilissis Sofias Avenue, the building rises as a statement of mid‑century dignity infused with modern warmth. Interiors strike a balance between neutral grandeur and Mediterranean restraint. Suites nestle into Kolonaki’s cultural pulse; residences offer elevated views framed by olive trees and marble shadows.

The Ilisian is not about showmanship. It is about Greek stillness in motion—moments of light, layered materiality, and a deeper connection to the city’s history.
