Campion
alumnus John Consolas (1996) studied architecture at Bath University
(1997-2003), Architectural Photography at London College of Communication
(2006) and European Property Development and Planning at UCL (2006-2009).
John then
went on to work as an architect in London, New York and Athens. He has also worked
as a project manager for large commercial developments in Greece and Romania. John continued to occasionally work in the
family hostel business until one day he decided to combine all his talents and make
a little bnb of his own in central Athens.
John’s
hotel is called the Alice Inn Athens and has been open for about a year. The
concept is a boutique bnb with a very cosy, homelike feel. It comprises four
small apartments in a neoclassical townhouse in Plaka near to Syntagma Square
and the Acropolis.
Apartments
are available for short and long term stays (3 days to 3 months).
International
clientele ranges from visiting academics to hip young couples to relocating
expats, generally people with taste who don't want the typical hotel experience.
