Hotel description

Hotel designers far and wide strive for interiors that are hip and eclectic, but these days a few zebra-print pillows and some potted bamboo in a minimalist setting hardly qualify as edgy. Enter the Baby Grand, an Athens hotel that’s delightfully avant-garde, splashed with colorful artworks, and, yes, quirky nearly to the point of outrageousness.

The eye-popping entryway is a crash course in the hotel’s art-focused design scheme. The works are contemporary, of course, and there’s not a Rothko knockoff in sight — the Baby Grand is stocked with wall-sized graffiti paintings, cartoon-like murals, and vibrantly hued urban art that lend the interiors a gritty-chic look. Pick up your keys at reception, which isn’t a desk at all, but a pair of gleaming Mini Coopers, and, for the most unique experience, head for one of 55 graffiti guest rooms. Each is individually themed, so you’re just as likely to be surrounded by life-size fairy tale scenes as fantastical images of an enchanted forest. Too trippy for your taste? Sophisticated “classical” guest rooms are significantly toned-down, leaving the art to the public spaces. Down comforters, marble bathrooms, wireless internet, and satellite television are constants throughout the guest quarters, and suites offer separate living and study areas with plush furniture, large bathtubs, and balconies.

Needless to say, there’s nothing exactly ordinary about the Baby Grand’s offerings, not even the name of the restaurant (Meat Me, which serves modern Greek cuisine in a surrealist setting characterized by unusual details like iridescent tree leaves and glowing fluorescent glass panels.) The Moët & Chandon bar, in addition to offering innovative techniques for drinking from mini champagne bottles, is set in a whimsical space that manages to be both fashionable and warm.
