The Bell Athens by Kasa

The Bell Athens by Kasa is a boutique hotel at 183 West Clayton Street in downtown Athens, GA, housed in a building originally constructed in 1916 for the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company. A two year renovation transformed the historic structure into a modern lodging destination that opened in February 2025. The property features eight uniquely designed guest rooms, an expansive four bedroom suite for larger groups, elegant common areas, and a panoramic rooftop terrace. Each room is individually furnished and decorated, equipped with a tea and coffee maker, refrigerator, TV, safe, and free WiFi. Kasa's tech enabled model means self check in at 4:00 PM with 24/7 virtual front desk support accessible by text. There is no traditional front desk. With a 4.6 star rating and 46 reviews, The Bell has quickly established itself in the downtown Athens hospitality market. The Clayton Street location places guests in the center of everything: restaurants, bars, shops, and the University of Georgia campus are all a short walk away. The building sits between the vibrant downtown historic district and the charming Reese Street historic district. For Athens, GA visitors who want a lodging experience with genuine character and history rather than a chain hotel room, The Bell delivers a 1916 building with 2025 amenities.
