Leon Avigad, founder of Brown Hotels, said: “Following the success of the three DAVE properties in Tel Aviv, we decided to introduce the concept to Athens, bringing the Brown Hotels’ playful counterpart to the revamped Omonia Square. Situated by the recently opened Brown Acropol, and the soon-to-open Lighthouse Athens, DAVE Red Athens presents a young and lively hospitality offering that is unrivalled in the city.”
Brown Hotels plans to open seven additional properties in Athens by 2023. Other Greek locations include Thessaloniki, Corinthia, Crete, Corfu and Cyprus.
