The Athens Riviera transforms this summer into a haven for the senses thanks to Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens, which launches its Summer Series with a selection of artists who turn every day into a celebration of the present. From July to September, international DJs and local talent take turns in the booth to create a poolside sound experience that ignores labels and time zones, open to both guests and day visitors.
The soul of this lineup beats to the rhythm of Odyssey, a monthly series that transforms the Swim Club into a micro-festival by the water. Names like Damian Lazarus, Horse Meat Disco, and Midland will set the tone for these Wednesday nights, designed to let go, lose track of time, and reconnect with the body under the Greek moon.
EDEN, meanwhile, continues to expand its universe from the local underground to a new state of Sunday grace. On the last Sunday of every month, this collective turns Ace into a sound garden where artists like Hunee, Avalon Emerson, and Âme (DJ) converge, with a dedicated dance floor and an atmosphere that is pure emotional alchemy.
On Friday, July 18th, FIXED, the New York party with over 15 years of history, arrives in Athens with JDH, beewack, and a special lineup for an afternoon of horizontal music and a nighttime swim without rules. A proposal open to the public, with no tickets or lists, just a desire to float.
Throughout the season, Saturdays will be Stegi.Radio’s home territory, taking over the Swim Club every week from 12:00 to 17:00, before moving to the lobby until 1:00. A gentle, unhurried continuity that invites you to experience Saturday as a long journey. And on Sundays, the energy restarts with Sunday Service, a series of soft sets that accompany the midday sun until the weekend bids farewell.
Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens stands as an aesthetic and sensorial manifesto in Glyfada, with an architecture that blends the heritage of the legendary 1970s Fenix Hotel with the contemporary vision of French designer ciguë. 120 rooms open to the light, cantilevered balconies, textiles designed by Salma Barakat, and an art collection that breathes contemporary Athens in every corner.
The hotel shares DNA with its Palm Springs counterpart, offering an experience where pool culture becomes a lifestyle: open terraces, a lobby that serves as a natural meeting point, a vibrant bistro, and a rooftop with ocean views complete the experience.
