Travelers' Choice
Stately, with the air of an era long gone, the Electra Palace Athens, hospitable and aristocratic, awaits to welcome you in the heart of the city. Classical in its architecture and design, blending beautifully with the noble historical buildings of the Plaka area, the hotel’s elegant luxury is complemented by the majestic views of the Acropolis that can be enjoyed from the rooftop restaurant, pool, rooms and suites. Marble bathrooms; soft duvets; handmade carpets; custom furniture; these are but a few of the details that make the Electra Palace Athens luxuriously enjoyable. The amenities of our hotel will leave you wanting for nothing more: for your comfort and enjoyment, here you will find satellite T.V.s, laptop size electronic safes, Wi-Fi internet connection, and fully equipped bathrooms with hair dryer, bathrobes and slippers, magnifying mirror and more. Right in the city center and within walking distance from all major sights, easily accessible by car or public transport, the Electra Palace Athens is the ideal hotel for your stay in Athens whether you are here for business or leisure: spend a summer day at our outdoor swimming pool, soaking up the sun of Athens as it rises above the Acropolis – or spend it shopping in the city’s lively markets. Wander through the ancient Agora and visit the Parthenon – then wonder at its glory, all dramatically lit at night, from the balcony of your room. Stroll around the city under the autumn rain, then warm up in the hotel’s sauna. Relax after a day’s hard work - or blow off some steam - at the indoor pool or our gym. Enjoy our delicious contemporary greek cuisine at the award winning “Electra Palace Roof Garden” or at the “Motivo” in the lounge, or with a drink at the “Duck Tail”, our British inspired bar. For bigger celebrations or for business events in the heart of Athens, our hotel’s five-star service extends to our seven meeting rooms and ballrooms: fully equipped, air-conditioned and naturally lit, our halls can cater for up to 350 people for any event type, no matter how formal: host your business meeting here, or organize a successful conference. Or, have the reception or banquet of your dreams, tasteful and impeccable, a festive testament to your own sophisticated style.

    We stayed here the first few nights of our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. Amazing views from the rooftop restaurant for breakfast and dinner, beautiful rooftop pool looking out on the acropolis, and very helpful staff...

The daily included breakfast was also amazing!... They even had fresh honey straight from a honey comb and freshlly squeezed orange juice... I would definitely return to this hotel and recommend it to anybody traveling to Athens...

    ...Firstly, the location is great - walking distance to syntagma, acropolis and most of the areas you would visit for shopping and dining... The rooftop restaurant is not only one of the best views in the city, the dinner we had was superb and the breakfast really good... We had a good time in the rooftop pool each afternoon to avoid the hottest periods, which was spotless, as well... My only suggestion, if I was nitpicking, is that the rooms could maybe do with a bit of an update/facelift... The bathrooms are lovely, but the rest of the room was starting to look a little tired in places...

We had room 222 a suite with separate sitting area, very good size.its nice to have a Nespresso in the room but we couldn’t get real milk... There’s a decent sized bathroom but no bath...

Alexandros, one of the bartenders, was also exceptionally kind and welcoming and gave great suggestions for Athens...

Our family sat transfixed by the Acropolis over afternoon drinks to recharge after a long day of touring... Absolutely stunning hotel and staff...

    Electra Palace is a beautiful hotel conveniently located near attractions for first-time visitors like us... The terrace restaurant offers not only delicious cuisine but also amazing views of the Acropolis and the city of Athens... The breakfast buffet was the best.I commend all the staff for the warmest welcome and excellent service during our short stay before our cruise around the islands... Each of them was helpful and efficient- the personnel from the front desk, the lobby, and the restaurant... Our room was updated and pristine -all thanks to the attendant whom I didn't get to meet... It was also an added charm that it is located on a quiet street...

Gym was well equipped for a city centre hotel and most things I needed were available... Water and towels available in the gym... The older members of the group swam and used the spa and reported positively... The younger ones in the group were able to walk to all of the main attractions... Taxis were outside for those who were less mobile... Good wifi connectivity throughout... Fantastic view of the Acropolis from the breakfast restaurant on the 10th floor which took your breath away on the first morning!...

    We enjoyed an Athens City break in November, staying at the Electra Palace Athens. We were greeted warmly on arrival and found everyone working at the hotel helpful and friendly... We had a room with a balcony and view (what a view!)... the room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable with ample provisions... Our adult son slept comfortably on the sofa bed in the room... We enjoyed the lovely fresh breakfasts at the rooftop restaurant and were surprised that in November it was warm enough to enjoy the option of outdoor seating there... We also used the small indoor pool and jacuzzi, very refreshing after much walking sightseeing... The hotel is immaculately clean- as you step through the doors from the city streets you notice the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful aroma of the hotel... It’s fabulously located for sightseeing and accessing bars and shops in Plaka... Would love to return to this hotel for its perfect combination of modern facilities, traditional charm, exceptional service and friendly staff...

Breakfast was included with our stay and the food was very good with a variety of options to suit everybody... A burger and a few drinks at the pool bar was also very nice and relaxing... The views from the restaurant and pool area are amazing... The hotel is well placed with a short walk to shopping, restaurants and the Acropolis...

    This hotel is unlike many on these sites... The pool and bar area are average size and decor, but, again, the views make up for it... The drinks at the pool bar were refreshing and the staff did an excellent job... The front desk staff helped us find restaurants each night... We had asked for non touristy, local restaurants and they delivered!... Breakfast had a large selection with items for European style breakfasts and also American tastes... The bartender in the main lobby bar was chatty, interesting and made excellent drinks!...

It is very rare I feel obliged to review a hotel stay. But this hotel deserves every bit of praise and more!! Again, booking something at the last minute required only convenience so the @electrapalaceathens met all the requirements. What I didn't realize is the rooftop view was more incredible than the pictures I saw online (pics never do anything justice). Yes, I was obsessed with the view!! But the service, the attention, the absolute professional and friendly atmosphere of the entire staff was something I have only experienced in a 5-star hotel in NYC. This hotel has nothing to envy from any hotel in the world when it comes to service. The food was superb, top chef quality. The drinks were amongst the best I have had in Europe. The room was spacious with an additional sitting area (I regret not upgrading to a suite with the Acropolis view, but then again we were only here for a short time). Definitely, if I ever have an opportunity to visit Athens again, this will likely be the only place I would consider for 1,000 reasons and more. PS. Now that Greece is off season, the rate was extremely reasonable, but not sure what it would be during peak season. Either way, totally worth every penny!!

If you are looking for a comfortable hotel to return to after a long day of excursions and museums in Athens, the Electra Palace is the perfect location The décor is light and welcoming, as is the staff. A plus is the rooftop restaurant overlooking the Acropolis where an excellent breakfast is served every morning. The service is impeccable. In the evening the restaurant offers a fine dining experience that is memorable. On the main level is Zohos, a unique culinary experience with small plates perfect for sharing. It is great fun to choose from such an eclectic menu. As for choice of rooms, I would suggest that you have a balcony and view of the Acropolis, the perfect place for an evening bottle of sparkling wine (provided by the hotel) and morning coffee. A+ for location, staff, and ambiance.

My wife and I have only praise for the Elektra Palace Athens. From its two restaurants, to its welcoming lobby, to our room, we were very impressed with the hotel and its incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Moreover, the hotel is within very close walking distance to the beautiful, narrow, winding streets beneath the Acropolis, as well as within easy walking distance of the Greek and Roman agoras, the Temple of Zeus, various little Byzantine churches, and many excellent restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel.

We had a great 1 night stay here, the pool and breakfast area views are spectacular and our room was spacious. We even had a little lounge in the room. We had a late flight the day of checkout and despite being fully booked, they pushed our checkout time back by a couple of hours free of charge which was appreciated. The only downside was we had tried to make a reservation for dinner in the restaurant for which they told us they were fully booked but we could come for a drink before or after dinner. We ended up doing that and the restaurant was empty, there was also tables that weren’t even made up that surely they could have sat us at. We even offered to eat early and leave by a certain time if they had a booking say at 8pm. They didn’t make any efforts to accomodate us which was disappointing.

I had the most horrible stay at Electra Palace the other day, or what it should be called Electra Dump. Our room was disgusting and extremely old, dated and dirty and near the stairs. The bathroom was impossible to move in, the shower door was too small for my 5’2” mother to even fit in. The hot and cold knobs are large and jut out right at your crotch leaving you nowhere to stand. This shower was smaller than ones you would find on a boat. There was black mold in the shower and the door wouldn’t close causing water to go everywhere. After a long day of traveling I just wanted to take a nice hot shower. The bed had black marks on it. I’ve stayed in hostiles that were nicer, to be honest the room felt like service quarters. The desk had a chair that couldn’t fully be pushed in so it was impossible to even move around the room. I really hated it and was really upset I used so many credit card points on what was supposed to be a 5 star, splurge and luxury experience. When I checked out the gentleman didn’t even ask how was my stay and at that point I just wanted to get out of there. Never again, avoid at all costs.

We booked a room over a year ago expecting it to have a shower. It didn’t. To have a shower was an additional $104 Euro per night. Disappointed that it wasn’t mentioned when booking and that you need to upgrade?

Dear BrentonM8, thank you very much for your time to share with us your comments regarding your recent stay at Electra Palace Athens! We feel sad to read that your experience was less than what you expected. Your initial reservation was for a room with Garden view. The supplement of 104$ referred to the upscale room Acropolis and balcony, that has been chosen, not for the shower. Should there was a request by the time of booking, we would have fulfilled your preferences. We all hope to welcome you back in the nearest future. Best regards,

The hotel is delightful. The staff are extremely nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The beds are comfortable as well! The views from the pool deck and bar are stunning. The breakfast buffet is yummy-- a great selection for all tastes. Highly recommend this lovely hotel in the Plaka region of Athens. Will stay there again.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Electra Palace, everything from the minute we checked in was superb. The rooms are spotless, the staff are so pleasant, the location is ideal, the restaurant serves wonderful food with stunning views and the pool and bar provide a very welcome cool down after a day doing the sights. Well done Electra Palace, you’re doing a really good job!
