DOLCE & GABBANA OPEN GOLD RESTAUANT IN MILAN

Iconic Italian fashion label Dolce & Gabbana are the latest to get into the monochrome color trend. Hot on the heels of Hollywood's green themed bar, Social Hollywood, and the Gold themed Restaurante Les Cols in Catalina, Spain, the dynamic design duo have opened a new restaurant with an entirely gold interior. The golden color scheme is in keeping with the team's limited edition gold phone for Motorola. When news of the D & G restaurant hit the gossip vine expectations were high: could Dolce and Gabanna extend the sassy Italian aesthetic they are renowned for to the restaurant business? The answer is a resounding yes!

Classical Baby Grand Hotel Athens

by admin // February 2nd, 2008 // Permalink // leave a response // trackback //


The Classical Baby Grand is situated in the heart of downtown Athens, so it’s a cultural haven for tourists who want to explore the city. The pulse of the city is felt from the moment guests step outside the hotel doors, as it faces Kotzia Square right next to City Hall.

Wander through the lobby as you make your way out for a night on the town, and you’ll see a garden-inspired lobby designed by Socratis Socratous. You won’t find the reception there though; you’ll have to go upstairs where two Mini Cooper convertibles (yes, cars) are used as check-in desks.

location. the central Classical Baby Grand hotel overlooks kotzia square in athens, greece. City hall is next door and the byzantine museum is just 500 metres away. The ancient agora and national gallery are less than one kilometre away. Omonia square station is 300 metres from the hotel.
hotel features. the hotel is entered from the busy square, through the neo-classical entrance into a warm-toned lobby, decorated with sofas and rugs. Staff at the 24-hour front desk can help arrange trips to athens attractions.

The Classical Baby Grand’s meat me restaurant serves steaks and burgers in a greek taverna-style setting, and the moet & chandon bar serves champagne and finger food. Room service is available 24 hours.

There is a business centre and currency exchange service at the hotel, while meetings and conferences can be organised in the nearby grecotel athens acropol.

guestrooms. decorated in contemporary style, with chandeliers and wooden furnishings, the 79 guestrooms offer satellite television, cd players, minibars and high-speed internet connections.

expert tip. it’s just two kilometres from the hotel to athens’ world-famous acropolis hill, site of the acropolis.

Inside the hotel, a whimsical décor brightens the interior of 76 rooms. The most fun are Graffiti rooms, each with its own unique appearance, the inspiration sought from popular cartoon characters. For example, Room 403 is Spider Man, with black and red furniture and white walls embellished with action poses.

Now imagine cobalt blue ceilings depicting a starry sky, the vibrant color dripping down the walls until the point where it is met with swirling clouds of shimmering gold paint. A crystal chandelier adds a hint of romance, and on top of the bed, ornamental glass butterflies adorn the crisp white sheets.

Wake up early the next morning and head to restaurant. Sip on your coffee as your eyes take in the aesthetically pleasing contrast between the sunny orange color of the restaurant and the vibrant blue of the Classical Spa Carita which can be seen from below through the glass floors.

Baby Grand Hotel Address:
65 Athinas & Lykourgou St, Athens 10551, Greece
