Let’s dig in and see what else makes this hotel special!

Positive Aspects

Location: This is a prime location that provides easy access to major attractions, museums, and vibrant shopping areas, as well as transportation options like the metro (Booking.com) (Tripadvisor).
Rooms: The 30 or so rooms are moderately sized, ranging from 18 sqm doubles to 35 sqm suites. They are comfortable and stylishly decorated in pastel hues, blending vintage art deco glamor with sleek, contemporary comfort. The bathroom decor is playful in terms of colors and materials used. Some rooms even have a freestanding bathtub inside the living area- if this is something that you like, make sure to ask for specific rooms. (Booking.com) (Tripadvisor)
Service: The level of service is definitely at the top of this hotel’s list, as the staff is exceptional and attentive, making sure that the service is personalized for every guest. (Booking.com) (Tripadvisor).
Dining: Hop on to the hotel’s rooftop Cloud 9 bar and restaurant to enjoy delicious cuisine and panoramic views of the city. The main restaurant on the ground floor, The Geco, has a menu curated by Michelin-awarded chefs and focuses on Mediterranean flavors. The breakfast is sumptuous and has many choices for many different tastes and diets! (Booking.com) (Tripadvisor).
Ambiance: The design and ambiance blend the opulence of the 1920s with contemporary luxury, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. The vertical gardens will definitely catch your eye and give the hotel that certain different je ne sais quoi… (Booking.com) (Tripadvisor).
Amenities: The resort offers top-notch amenities, a fitness center, and a boxing ring (say what!?! – curious as to if guests use it). Unfortunately, there is no pool 🙁 (Booking.com) (Tripadvisor).

The Gatsby emanates what I would call cool vibes of a bygone era with a modern twist. My favorite features are the Cloud9 guest-only (therefore quieter) rooftop sipping cocktails with Acropolis Vista and a fireplace, which gives it a feeling of coziness during the cooler months! I also like the wellness cavern-shaped area where you can get a relaxing massage.

Areas of Improvement

Noise Levels: street-facing rooms can be a bit noisy and the live music from the hotel restaurant can reach all the way to some rooms (Booking.com).
Price: The Gatsby is a luxury hotel whose rates reflect that and may not suit all budgets (Booking.com).

Room Rates
Range: Indicative range for regular rooms €400 to €1,500+ per night, depending on room type and season.
Style: Art Deco Elegance
