Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the newly opened One and Only Hotel in Glyfada, and I must say, it left quite an impression. From the moment I stepped into the main area, I was greeted with a sense of sophistication and style. The interior design, with its indoor water elements, created a serene atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. One of the highlights for me was the impressive selection of coffee table books, a detail that speaks volumes about the attention to detail in this establishment.
Moving on to the rooms, we were fortunate enough to visit a suite overlooking the water. The private pool in the back was a luxurious touch, and the outdoor space provided the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the water. The bathroom, with its sea view, was a true delight.
When it comes to dining, the One and Only Hotel in Glyfada does not disappoint. Ora by Bortrini offered a decent dining experience that satisfied my palate. Although the menu may vary slightly, the quality of the food remains consistently good. Meanwhile, El Bar de Paco Morales was great for those seeking small bites and expertly crafted cocktails. As a self-proclaimed vodka soda enthusiast, I was particularly impressed by the creativity and skill behind each drink, especially the Night Dance cocktail.
For my spa connoisseurs, the Guerlain Spa is worth the visit. While, it may have high-quality products it definitely is on the pricier side. Also, the experience can be limiting to couples as men and women have separate saunas. The outdoor pool is heated but personally, I do prefer an indoor pool for spas. Additionally, the hotel gym offers state of the art equipment, but limited free weights.
In conclusion, my experience at the One and Only Hotel in Glyfada was refreshing. While the hotel may still be new and relatively empty, I have no doubt that it will soon become a destination for travelers who seek a luxury experience.
