Electra Palace Athens in Athina 105 57.
Electra Palace Athens rises along a tree-lined avenue in the heart of Syntagma, commanding views of the Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill from its rooftop spaces.
This 5-star hotel occupies a restored neoclassical building that anchors one of Athens' most vibrant neighborhoods, placing your celebration steps away from ancient monuments and contemporary culture.
The venue's 150-year architectural pedigree pairs with modern event infrastructure across multiple indoor and outdoor spaces.
We were very satisfied with our overall experience at this hotel. The facilities correspond to what would be considered a strong 4 to 4.5-star standard in Denmark. The service was excellent — a clear 5-star experience. The staff were attentive, professional, and welcoming throughout our stay. The breakfast was good, though not exceptional — solid 4 stars. There was a decent selection, and the quality was consistent. The restaurant located on the ground floor is also around 4-star level, offering a nice variety of well-prepared and tasty dishes. The rooms, however, are closer to 3.5 stars. They are smaller than a typical double bedroom, and the bathroom had no ventilation, which caused noticeable condensation. The overall style feels slightly old-fashioned, though still elegant and well-maintained. The afternoon restaurant was nice, with the best service ever. Bye Donald. 6 star! Overall, it is a recommendable hotel — at the right price point. I would say it offers good value at up to €125 per night.
