Arguably Europe's most luxurious Hilton Hotel after the Rome Cavalieri Hilton! After the renovasion of the Athens Hilton myself and my mother have desided to come and stay for one night at this hotel which I used to come and have dinners and drinks since I was a child, just to see how it looks like now, despite my parents live in the exclusive Athenian Riviera. As Gold VIP Honours members I booked an executive room but they upgrade our room to an executive plus room with the Acropolis view. The hotel was built in 1963 in contemporary style. Today is still contemporary but very elegant. The chic public areas are spacious and comfortable. The service is excellent and the staff is very, very helpfull. The rooms are large with contempary furniture and balconies facing most of them the spectacular Acropolis. As we had complimentary access to the elegant executive lounge we were able to try the hotels beverages, drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The hotels' restaurants are all very good but our favourite is the Galaxy BBQ restaurant on the top floor and the Galaxy Bar, with stunning views over the City of Athens. The Galaxy Bar is a popular night spot for Athenians. I can remember before I come to London often visiting the bar for a drink as always was the best spot in Athens for a night out. Today it still the place to see-and-be-seen as always was a favourite of locals & international celebrities since its opening! The Athens Hilton has a very nice Spa as well as, an internal and Olympic-size external swimming pool which is our favourite. Athens Hilton was always and still is, one of the finest hotels in Athens!!!

We stayed two nights at the Athens Hilton and liked it very much. Our room was on the 10th floor with an Acropolis view. Even-numbered rooms all have a view of the Acropolis, so make sure you request that. As Hilton HHonors Gold members, we also had executive lounge access with complimentary beverages all day, cocktails & hot hors d'oeuvres in the evening from 6-9 pm along with some lovely Greek wines, and a terrific buffet breakfast in the morning. Rooms have gorgeous marble bathrooms with deep soaking tub and separate shower. Location is good, 1 block from Evangelismos metro station, which is 1 stop from Syntagma and 2 stops from Monastiraki. The Plaka is walking distance if you like to walk (we do, & it was about a 20 minute walk). From the airport, if you don't want to take a taxi you can either take the E95 bus for 2.90 Euro, or take the metro which we did. It's about 45 minutes to an hour from the airport, 10 Euro for 2 people, one-way. On departure we had a very early morning flight out of Athens so we took a cab from the Hilton to the airport that morning which was 30 Euro. The Hilton is in a very safe location. There is lots of traffic but the rooms are well-soundproofed and unless the sliding door to your balcony is open you really can't hear the street noise -- obviously the higher the floor you are on the less traffic you will hear. The decor in the hotel is very contemporary and not particularly warm feeling, but rather chic. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

The service at your hotel is excellent and especially at cafe Vyzandion with the beautiful environment,the smiling waiters and waitresses always ready to serve the customer.I have always enjoyed my meetings with friends or business appointments which I always arranged to take place at your excellent cafes and restaurants.

The rooms are very nicely appointed, with a nice view and great bathrooms. Everything was clean. There's also a very nice outdoor pool. One negative: there's a fee to use the fitness center. The neighborhood was a nice surprise. Walk a few blocks, and you're in a friendly residential area with lots of families, inexpensive tavernas, and a great atmosphere.
