Focusing on "Philoxenia" the sacred art of making a stranger feel like home
The first 5* hotel is due to open in Athens come the 15th October 2021, xenodocheio Milos which will hold authenticity of cuisine, culture and the philosophy of “philoxenia”, the sacred art of making a stranger feel like home,at its core. The Greek word Philoxenia literally means "love of the foreign or friend to the stranger" but is much more than a warm welcome but a complex moral code with deep roots. It is an unspoken cultural law that shows generosity and courtesy to stranger - a word which often moves, inspires and baffles foreigners as it has no direct equivalent in other languages.
Located in downtown Athens opposite Old Parliament, an area, bursting with history and celebrating the best of Greek heritage, art and cuisine, the hotel is the very first luxury boutique hotel of the world-renowned Greek restaurant estiatorio Milos, carrying the story of Milos to its next chapter.
