Our stay at the Gem Society came at the tail end of a long vacation and we were so happy and grateful for the modern look and feel of this hotel after several weeks of stays in heritage hotels dating back centuries. Much as we enjoyed those rooms, the comfort of the king bed and amazing shower, the designer furnishings, an elevator (!) and the hotel's proximity to a very cool neighbourhood in Athens made our stay quite perfect. We opted for the breakfast included and that was also exceptional. Staff were wonderful throughout.
