Athens / Accommodation


 

The Astir Palace is easily the most prestigious hotel in Attica. It’s set on a 75-acre promontory with stunning views of the Saronic Gulf, 25km from Athens, 24km from the airport and strategically close to the upmarket district of Glyfada. The resort consists of three separate hotels; the Arion, Nafsika and Aphrodite, catering to leisure, business and corporate travellers but all with unfailingly high standards of luxury and service. The meeting and conference facilities can host anything from board meetings to international conventions, while its beautiful beaches make you feel as if you’re holidaying on an island instead of staying at a city resort.

 

The first choice of visiting celebrities and VIPs, the Athens Intercontinental combines class and comfort with excellent standards of service. The hotel is just off Syngrou Avenue to the south of the city center, within easy reach of the main sites and the commercial center. The rooms and communal areas, such as the marble atrium in the lobby, are spacious, well appointed and decorated with works of art from the owner’s personal collection. The hotel provides full amenities for business people, including secretarial services, printing, copying, mobile phone hire and couriers, and some of the best conference facilities in the city.

 

Just a five-minute walk from the Acropolis and a two-minute walk from the nearest metro station, the Athenian Callirhoe is ideal for business travelers. The rooms are light, airy and modern, and the hotel offers facilities such as secretarial and parcel services and fax on request, as well as conference and meeting areas for up to 120 people. Among its many plus points is the restaurant Etrusco, where fusion cuisine by chef Ectoras Botrini is the talk of the town. The Etrusco Roof Garden is open in the summer.

 

This hotel is targeted primarily at visiting business people who want a comfortable base for meetings near the centre of the city. The hotel has two executive fl oors with spacious rooms, separate check-in desk and extra amenities for business people. The communal spaces are also large and very elegant, while the rooftop bar is particularly attractive, with its panoramic views of the Acropolis, Lycabettus and the entire city. Along with the Athens Hilton, the Divani Caravel was chosen to host members of the International Olympic Committee during the Athens Olympics in 2004.

 

Grande Bretagne is the king of Athens hotels. It has the very best location, at the top of Syntagma Square, overlooking the parliament, and since the fi rst guest arrived in 1874 it has been at the heart of Athens’ social, cultural, fi nancial and political life. A member of the Starwood chain, it is among the best-known hotels in the world and the fi rst choice of visiting VIPs and royals. Its GB Corner restaurant has for decades been the rendez-vous point for business and high-society meetings and it has now also opened the GB Roof Garden in summer. The tone throughout is one of sheer, unadulterated opulence and impeccable service.
