Semiramis

The hotel Semiramis is the first hotel project of Karim Rashid and it is a fusion of Rashid's influence and Dakis Joannous's vision, the owner; the structure is clearly dedicated to the modern art world. It was Mr. Joannou, an eminent collector and the patron of modern art, as well as a qualified architect, who charged Karim Rashid to build a hotel that would be much more than a simple accommodation in Athens.

The hotel is very intimate and it will offer you a great experience of delicateness, culture, art and design. Your journey here will be unforgettable, if you come both for pleasure and business. The rooms are 52 and they have been designed by Karim Rashid: the hotel is indeed inspired to Athens' design and it offers a valid alternative to the modern travellers. 

The Seminaris hotel is located in the heart of the lively Athens, precisely in the suburb of Kifissia, and it is surrounded by boutiques, restaurants and cafes. It is positioned at 340 metres above the sea level, so as it allows you to avoid the humidity of the city.

The structure is very recent (21st century creation) and this aspect is clear from the details: the curve in a desk, the light-box installation behind the beds and the comfort and functionality of the several services offered.

The services offered by the hotel Semiramis are several and they include: : room design and furniture by Karim Rashid, Mediterranean cuisine Bar - Restaurant (indoor/outdoor dining), original designed swimming-pool with sun bathing deck, high speed Internet access, art gallery exhibition in public areas, gym with private physical trainers, wellness centre & hamam, facial and body treatment, underground parking (9 euros per day), room service (24 hours per day), concierge service (24 hours per day), airport pick-up (with extra charge), CD / DVD free library, elegant meeting spaces (up to 180 delegates), laundry and dry cleaning service, multi - lingual staff, secretarial service & PC rentals, baby sitting (upon request), car rental service, turn - down service in every room, early - bird complimentary breakfast, unpacking service (upon request), non – smokers rooms, hotel - wide smoke alarm & sprinkler system.
