About NYX Esperia Palace Hotel Athens
NYX Esperia Palace is at 22 Stadiou Street, on the corner of Edouardou Lo, a few minutes' walk from Syntagma Square and close to Panepistimio metro station. The look comes from Greek street artist Gera1, whose colourful work runs through the lobby, corridors and every room. It is a lively, design-led stay, with a resident DJ in the main bar, a rooftop pool and even a retro gaming area with 1980s video games.
