Mandarin Oriental has signed a new hotel and
residences in Athens, Greece.

The Mandarin Oriental, Athens will be located on
the shoreline of the city, just a 15-minute drive from the centre.

Scheduled to open in the summer of 2027, the hotel
and residences will be developed by Belt Riviera, a company
established by Temes and Hellinikon (a subsidiary of Lamda Development).

The Ellinikon is one of the largest
sustainably built urban regeneration projects in Europe, and
Mandarin Oriental, Athens will be at its centre. The €8 billion
redevelopment will bring new life to this area of the city.
