Athens Hotels Turn Away From Antiquity
"Before it was the New Hotel, it was the Olympic Palace, a fairly representative bit of vaguely utopian mid-20th-century modernism. As it was showing its age, owner Dakis Jouannou elected to gut it — and to make a new hotel from the pieces of the old. Everything went back in; every door, every beam, every piece of stone, and the result is salvage like you’ve never seen it before." - Mark Fedeli
