Christina Mitsis, the Grande Dame of Hospitality

Hospitality in ancient Greece was considered sacred. Even today, we continue to embrace this philosophy with the same dedication,” says the successful entrepreneur and well-regarded figure in social circles—and beyond—Christina Mitsis, president of the Mitsis Group, the largest hotel group in Greece.

Her new venture is called “Jenny’s Rooftop Restaurant & Bar” and is located on the rooftop of the group’s cosmopolitan hotel, “Sofitel Athens Airport.” With a view of the Attic sky and aircraft arriving in Greece from all over the world, it serves as a welcoming “home” that embodies the Mitsis family’s values of care and respect for their guests. The restaurant is named after Jenny Mitsis, the mother of Christina and Stavros Mitsis, who envisioned a space that would express her love for cooking and the unique flavors she always offered her friends as a hostess.

“The restaurant boasts a stunning view and a casual chic atmosphere, offering guests an authentic Greek culinary experience designed to be meaningful and unforgettable. Authenticity is a core element for us, which is why we focus on the art of gastronomy through the philosophy of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine,” explains Christina Mitsis.

With the opening of “Jenny’s Rooftop Restaurant & Bar,” the discerning Athenian audience is treated to the perfect blend of hospitality and gastronomy, captivating visitors in every sense of the word. Every detail contributes to the exemplary atmosphere. “The architectural design and interior spaces of the restaurant bear the signature of renowned Spanish architect Lázaro Rosa-Violán, who has created a welcoming space that perfectly combines style and comfort. The exceptional menu has been curated by the executive chefs of the Mitsis Group,” says Christina, describing this new meeting place where every visit marks a new experience for both Athenians, who have already added it to their must-visit list, and others alike.

 

“The entire concept is led by executive chef Alexandros Papandreou, who is committed to offering guests a unique gastronomic journey, paired with a dedication to top-quality ingredients and the simplicity of flavors. Our menu reveals the vibrant tastes of creative Greek Mediterranean cuisine through the craftsmanship of a team of renowned chefs.” Beyond its outstanding cuisine, an enticing variety of refreshing cocktails enhances the guest experience at “Jenny’s,” which is also ideal for hosting highly successful professional and social events.

With Christmas around the corner, Christina Mitsis promises that at “Jenny’s,” even our festive gatherings for dining will become unforgettable, thanks to the beautiful art de la table, festive décor, and specially crafted seasonal dishes. The beloved hotel for visitors arriving in Greece by air, “Sofitel Athens Airport,” now warmly invites everyone—travelers and non-travelers alike—to elevate their experience with exquisite fine dining options and precious moments of good living. For those seeking the ultimate experience, booking a stay in one of its renowned five-star rooms will offer nothing less than satisfaction.
