MonAsty was founded with the vision of creating a unique destination that embodies the essence of Thessaloniki. It offers an experience that seamlessly weaves together the city’s rich heritage as a cultural hub of the Byzantine Empire with the elegance and dynamism of its modern identity. The hotel’s name reflects this dual inspiration: “Mon” evokes the serenity and structure of a monastery, while “Asty”, meaning city, highlights its urban character. This deep-rooted heritage serves as the foundation for MonAsty’s design—where monastic architectural elements blend harmoniously with colors and imagery inspired by Byzantine art and tradition.
