Four Brown Hotels in Athens recently transformed their central lobbies into art galleries featuring works from 26 Greek galleries that are participating in Art Athina, the largest annual fine arts fair and exhibition in Greece.
The pop-up exhibition, which runs until April 26, showcases contemporary Greek art and design, representing both established and young Greek visual artists.
The exhibition was officially launched last week at the Brown Lighthouse hotel near Omonoia Square during an event hosted by Brown Hotels’ and Art Athina executives and attended by the media and the participating artists.

Brown Hotels is known for its unique design hotels in countries such as Israel (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem), Croatia, and Greece. The desire of its founders, Hoteliers Leon Avigad and Nitzan Perry, is to create hotels that not only show travelers the authentic culture and energy of the city but also reintroduce the city’s nightlife and its unique neighborhoods to the residents themselves.

Each of the chain’s hotels is unique, with an aesthetic inspired by the special vibe of each region and intertwined with its unique vibe. Brown Hotels opened seven new hotels in Israel between 2019 and 2020 and by 2024 will expand its operations in Europe, with new properties in Greece, Germany, Cyprus, and the United Kingdom.
The hotel chain has been recommended by leading lifestyle magazines, newspapers, and channels such as Vogue, Times, Wallpaper, Travel and Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, National Geographic and the New York Times.
