This is one of the world's great hotels. If you're not staying here (which you should), visit the lobby or have a drink or lunch in the cafe adjacent to the lobby. It's beautiful and the service and food are top notch. Alternatively, visit the roof top restaurant and bar that overlook the Acropolis. They have a wonderful buffet breakfast.... More

We were only in Athens for the day as our cruise ship berthed at 8 am. We booked lunch at the rooftop restaurant for 1.30 pm and this polished hotel looked after our luggage from 9 am until 4 pm so that we may explore Athens. Great restaurant, good food, great views, attentive, charming professional service. Would willingly stay here.

This hotel features incredible views of the Acropolis, wonderful and friendly service, and comfortable rooms. We enjoyed cocktails at the rooftop restaurant, afternoon tea in the lobby bar and a casual poolside lunch. All were worthwhile.

Stayed here for 4 nights at the end of April 2013. Very clean, excellent service, and awesome breakfast buffet and view of the Acropolis each morning. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good location and walking distance to everything. We even enjoyed the rooftop pool for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to... More

I only stayed in this hotel for 1 night. My room was very nice and clean. The most impressive to my opinion was the roof top restaurant. We had dinner with a magnificent view on the Akropolis. Also breakfast was very good with a lot of choices!

Stayed here for 4 days. Its central location makes it perfect for exploring Athens. Staff is helpful, rooms are comfortable, lives up to its luxury name. Breakfast is good. The rooftop bar / restaurant has an excellent view of the Acropolis. Gym is small but good.

A really superb hotel in so many ways. The location is central and walking distance from many attractions with a metro station just around the corner too. The service is friendly, efficient and everyone is genuinely helpful. The bedroom room was spectacular with views over to the Acropolis but if I was being particularly picky I would say the bathroom... More

Wished we had stayed another. Hotel is beautiful and is in a great location, being a short walk Plaka. Views from the roof at night are spectacular. Cocktails at the pool bar were a bit pricey (14 Euro for a margarita), but overall we were very impressed with the old style beauty of the hotel. Plus they have a spa,... More

The hotel owns not just the obvious luxury in its decorative details in the lobby and its rooms which easily make it stand out from all other hotels in Athens, but also an interesting history of 140 years which matches the identity of the historical capital of the western culture.
