THE BEST HOTEL IN EUROPE
The City Plaza is a hotel located in the heart of Athens. It was a symbol of the Greek crisis. For years it was closed because the owner could no longer pay out wages. Today, City Plaza is open again and fully occupied. The new guests come from around the world: from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. These current occupants of the hotel came with no belongings and do not need to pay. They all fled from their homes, and many belong to those 50,000 desperate individuals who are currently stranded in Greece, in no-man’s-land and disastrous camps, because fenced-off Europe has shut them out.
At City Plaza, refugees find a place that allows for privacy, in an atmosphere of security and dignity. This is true for all 400 guests of the hotel, but in particular for the 185 children among them. The hotel was occupied in April by an activist group. Together with the refugees many people in solidarity now manage the hotel. There is no support from the state. But there are good food, clean hallways, a pharmacy, a hairdresser, as well as language courses, a library and legal support. Everything is maintained on a voluntary basis and supported through donations. And all decisions are made collectively.
“We live together - solidarity will win” is the motto of the City Plaza Hotel. The hotel demonstrates every day anew that even in a situation of crisis and poverty it is possible to welcome people with open arms and to create dignified living conditions for all. To that end, the collectively run hotel requires further support: for 1000 meals a day, for electricity and water, medicine, clean laundry, school materials and many other things.
And, first and foremost, in order to be and remain a political example: The City Plaza Hotel is a place of equality and solidarity, the lived antithesis to Fortress Europe and its borders of shame. It is a symbol of hope. Or simply: City Plaza is the best hotel in Europe.
This is why we support the hotel with our signatures and donations and reserve a place here:

Great effort guys carry on
These people have been Squatting the hotel from it's rightful owner for almost 2 years. Don't give them a penny.
These people's lives are saved while the owner just lost the opportunity to sell today, but can still sell tomorrow, she hasn't lost her property.
185 children that could have been on the streets or dead are saved while she only gets a delay in the sale and she can spend the other money she has amassed.
You should get your humanity levels checked, they are damn low.
So you know that they are squatting but you don't care. How about the 80.000 euro water you send to the owner?
How about the thousands of euros owned to the former employees? Did you care about that in the last 6 years when the owner was blocking the auctioning of the furniture to pay what was owed to the employees? Or is your interest based in hatred for the refugee children that have been saved from the concentration camps?
Even if the owner owed them money that's what the police is for. You are actually using them stealing her furniture and trying to sell it as an excuse for the current ongoing theft? What is wrong with you people? Afterwards you are wondering why everyone wants to kick you out .
Who talked about stealing? She was supposed to allow the AUCTION of the furniture so that the employees would get payed. She ILLEGALLY stopped the auction from taking place. Now she cries all over social media, you cry along with her, when nobody cared for 6 years. So why are you crying now? Oh, that's right, you don't like refugee children to be protected, you are much more comfortable when they are being forced to prostitution in the parks of Athens.
