My wife and I decided to travel from London for a romantic Christmas in Athens . We were so delighted with King George II Palace. We were welcomed with charm and professionalism .The room was of a very high standard of comfort and luxury with a great deal of thought having been given to both it's looks and functionality. The bathroom fittings were of a particularly high standard with a big bath and marble ledge. The view to the Parthenon was simply unbelievable.

Our luggage did not arrive from the airline and unlike the average concierge who goes through the motions , the hotel concierge spent literally hours and took it as a personal mission to retrieve ours- which he did. All staff are of top caliber.


We have stayed in many 5 star hotels around the world and this was one of our best experiences.

I stayed one night at the King George II Hotel in Athens in a Deluxe Acropolis View Room.

The room is has a very old fashioned antique decor. Excellent view of parlament and Acropolis. Bathroom is rather small but has a good seperated shower and bathtub. The bed is comfortable the only critisism would be that the king size bed is actually to single beds pushed together.

Lobby area is very nice decorated and gives a classy style.

Breakfast at the restaurant on the 7th floor is a combination of served breakfast (drinks, bread, jam, freshly made eggs) and a buffet (cold cuts, fruits, musli...). Very good.

In my opionion one of the best places to stay in Athens. However a bit old fashoned atmosphere. One of the few 5* hotels in Athens which is really a 5* deluxe property.

I just came back from a 3 days escape to Athens. I stayed with my wife at King George II and i was absolutely impressed by the quality of the service and the elegance of the decor. This is a real gem, not so big as other expencive hotels and with a very stong personality. We had been at no charge upgraded to a junior suite in the front with smashing views to the Acropolis (what a miraculous site!!)and the house of Parliament. The breakfast was exactly what we wanted, stylish and top quality products and the dinnet at the Tudor Hall was again eating while watching the best view in the city (again the Acropolis). The rates at the Tudor hall were not so expencive (for the quality and the location) so we had dinner there twice (try also Mamakas at a new hip neighborhood Gazi).

The concierge gave us some very usefull tips about sight seeing and shopping (i really liked the Kolonaki area with expencive boutiques and elegant cafes).

The weather in Athesn in the winter is very good, we stayed outside all day long wearing nothing but a t-shirt.

My wife used the Spa (i m not a spa person) and she was thrilled.

All in all this is maybe the most elegant hotel i have ever seen!!
