Innovative and prolific, the emblematic Emmanuel Vourekas was Brown Acropol’s original architect. Inspired by the modernist movement but also influenced by contemporary elements, he played an important role in the mid-war and post-war architectural development of Athens, delivering a variety of buildings, ranging from large middle-class apartment blocks and mansions in the city center and the suburbs, to corporate units and big hotels. His work on Brown Acropol in particular, channels a 70s feeling that comprises the aesthetic trends of the mid-century era as well as the classic Athenian flair.

Since the hotel was in such a good condition already, its iconic elements from the modernist era were preserved and enhanced. Vintage furniture, bespoke pieces, timeless materials like oak wood, Greek marble, concrete and aluminum, and an earthy colour palette of burnt orange, mustard yellow and shades of brown attest to a subtle, hip ambience of fine taste.
