What I can see

The relief composition on the northwest facade of the former Hilton Hotel has an archaic theme, is made of Pentelic marble (like the Acropolis monuments), and exudes monumentality. It is a touch of Greekness, in a building that – at that time – was architecturally extroverted, following international trends.

What I can't see

Despite the initial objections to the construction of the massive – for the time – Hilton, the combination of Greek antiquity and modernism in the work of Giannis Moralis finally made a good impression. At the same time, this luxurious project inclines us tο the luxury of the hotel’s interior.
