This is the finest luxury hotel in Athens. Great staff, central location, next to the parliament, train station and syntagma park with amazing views of the acropolis. My brother and I stayed at the property during our visit to Athens in the last week of November. Our room was upgraded and we had perfect view of the acropolis and the city.Room was were very cozy, the Hotel has a very historic feel and the decor compliments it. We stayed for two nights and had very memorable time. Breakfast was good and the staff was wonderful and very supportive. We had flight delay and checked in late night, Panasonic at the front desk was very helpful and went out of the way, great many thanks to him. Will always come back to this hotel. Its truly a happy place!

We had booked a table days in advance for a business dinner, and the experience absolutely lived up to our expectations. They gave us a brilliant table tucked away in the corner, which meant our conversation flowed perfectly against a truly magical backdrop. The dishes arrived spot on time, the flavours were beautifully balanced with fresh ingredients, and the presentation was absolutely stunning. What really set the evening apart, though, was the staff. Our waiter was incredibly polite, knew the menu inside out, and recommended a superb wine that paired beautifully with our seafood. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful hotel located right next to the Syntagma Square and metro station, super convenient when you take the metro to and from the airport! Upon arrival you are immediately greeted with a luxurious experience from start to finish. At the front desk, we were helped by Helen who was super nice and very very helpful with our complicated reservations with Amex. They were able to upgrade our room to the balcony view and that was amazing 🤩 This place is in central Athens as well and you can go anywhere within steps. If you can afford it, definitely come here!!

Had a wonderful stay here during a conference recently. The hotel is beautiful. Security was high during the first half of the stay due to a political figure being on property but that wasn’t a major issue. Check in was easy, they were incredibly accommodating and helpful. The room was fantastic, the only issue I had was the tub drain cap was broken in my bathroom so draining the bath was a challenge. Service was impeccable in the restaurants, the view was spectacular, food was terrific and options were great. The conference services were great, they do a wonderful job. All in all I highly recommend this for a luxury option. Turn down service was delightful.

My wife and I had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this hotel. A huge thanks to Vassilios for making it so special. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to ensure we felt truly welcomed and cared for. He arranged a beautiful room with an incredible view and was always attentive, thoughtful, professional and quick to help with any questions or requests we had. What truly stood out was his kindness and genuine desire to make our stay memorable it felt personal, not transactional. Thank you, Vassilios, our experience was not just comfortable, but exceptional. We are deeply grateful and will always remember the warmth and hospitality he showed us.
