Baby Grand Hotel
So you’re fed up with anonymous hotel corridors, beige walls, and red carpets. And you have dined in too many dark-wood restaurants with leather-bound menus.
So what you need to do is go to Athens and head over to the Baby Grand Hotel and get your mind blow-dried by some cutting-edge artists.
Ten visionaries were picked from the new generation of graphic designers, illustrators, and graffiti artists and told to make the walls pretty.
Athens graffiti legend, Dreyk, the Pirate has done the entire second floor in mad styles.
The final two floors are a bit more sedate because, according to the concierge, ‘businessmen don’t want Spiderman’ on their walls. Well, indeed.
The restaurant seems close to what living inside a Bounty Bar might be like, but the food is totally serious; it is a Greek hotel, after all.
The bar is 1960s-style kookiness and serves sex toys alongside Moet champagne.
Your meals are sourced from the owner’s organic farm in Crete so there is no compromise on quality staffing and amenities.
