The Athenaeum Intercontinental offers generously sized rooms, with upper floors boasting extraordinary Acropolis views, especially from the Club Lounge, which provides good breakfast options and evening beverages. Many found the location convenient, with the Syggrou-Fix Metro station and a tram stop within walking distance for easy access to attractions like Plaka and Ermou Street. While some guests have noted that the hotel's decor appears somewhat dated, many appreciate the on-site amenities such as the spa center, gym, and the ArtBistrot, where Eleni provides great service.

Excellent Stay and Helpful Staff!

accommodating staff convenient taxi comfortable bed
The staff was very accommodating, and the spa staff were quite helpful. The pool provided a very cute experience after long walks to the Acropolis in the heat. Taxis to the main site cost only €6, a convenient option. The rooms were large and included comfortable beds. The cleaning staff were efficient and friendly.
I felt the room was dark. It didn't have the bright and airy feel of the white Greek backdrop and the Acropolis view I was expecting.
