A stylish eco-minded hotel using the famous Greek Coco-Mat organic mattresses. The hotel has a relaxed, design-forward atmosphere and excellent location near the ancient sites. Known for exceptional sleep quality.
Coco-Mat Athens BC is a design-led eco-hotel at Patriarchou Ioakim 36 in the Kolonaki neighbourhood of Athens, part of the Coco-Mat hotel collection built around the brand's internationally recognised organic mattress and sleep philosophy. The BC in the name refers to the hotel's proximity to the Byzantine and Christian Museum on Vassilisis Sofias Avenue — one of the finest collections of Byzantine art in the world — which is a short walk from the front door.
The hotel's aesthetic is calm and nature-oriented: natural materials including untreated wood, organic cotton, and wool are used throughout the interiors, and the absence of synthetic materials reflects the brand's commitment to sustainable living. Each room is equipped with a Coco-Mat organic mattress — the product for which the company is best known globally — along with linen bedding, air conditioning, flat-screen television, and wi-fi. Room categories range from standard doubles to superior rooms with more generous layouts.
A yoga and wellness area encourages guests to complement the sleep experience with light exercise and stretching. The hotel bar serves organic and natural beverages alongside a light food menu. Breakfast draws on organic and locally sourced produce, with an emphasis on Greek dairy, honey, and seasonal fruit. A restaurant on site provides further dining options in a relaxed, design-conscious setting.
The Kolonaki neighbourhood adds significantly to the appeal: within walking distance lie the Museum of Cycladic Art, the Benaki Museum, and the Byzantine and Christian Museum for which the hotel is partly named. Designer boutiques, artisan delis, and respected wine bars cluster along the surrounding streets.
Evangelismos metro station on Line 3 is a 10-minute walk, providing direct links to Syntagma Square, the city centre, and Athens International Airport. The hotel is well-suited to travellers who prioritise wellness, design, and cultural proximity and want a restful base in one of Athens' most liveable districts.
