You can never be too particular about the provenance of your daily morning brew: our coffee is made from single origin organic arabica beans, cultivated in the “Finca Tropical Mountains” of Peru, roasted especially for The Modernist.

SPACES
INSPIRING CURIOSITY
At the Modernist, however natural and simple things may seem, nothing was left to chance. Social areas are visually seamless extensions to the consummate quiet and privacy of your room. With the exception of selected signature pieces in the lobby, the furniture, lighting and uniforms are our own design, made to measure for the perfect fit and functionality.
The elegant pairing of art deco detailing and minimalist design that runs through The Modernist is apparent from the very first moment, as you move beyond the heritage façade through a lobby with original 1920s encaustic tiles and contemporized dados, towards a reception desk stained in British racing green at which 24-hour service stands to attention.
Our rooftop garden on the 7th floor has the kind of magic that makes time fly, slowly. Lounge chairs, small tables and lush plants populate the timber-decked terrace and invite guests to parallel play, work or meditate throughout the day, while taking in sweeping views that extend from the Lycabettus and the Acropolis across the rooftops of the capital all the way to the sea.
Our ‘shop’ is more of a loosely curated display of some of our favourite lifestyle items that may catch the corner of your eye on your way in and out of the Modernist. You’ll find our branded moleskin notebooks, alongside city guides and the books to gift or take home to your own coffee table, as well as souvenirs and our custom-made coffee mugs!
