Close to the business district, near the heart of the city. The Athenaeum Intercontinental Athens Hotel exemplifies contemporary grandeur in Greece's ancient capital.
EXPERIENCE
A haven of luxury for business and leisure travellers. The Athenaeum InterContinental is centrally located in Athens, close to the city's business and financial districts, and a short distance from many of the ancient sites.
Travellers walking into the marble atrium lobby, with a central fountain and private art collection, find immediate respite from the bustle of Athens. Rooms and suites are simultaneously simple and grand, in soft tones of cream, praline, and dark blue, made sumptuous through the use of leather, suede, and velvet. Or get a Club InterContinental room and you'll be rewarded with views of the Acropolis.
More views abound from the rooftop restaurant, Premičre, which has won numerous awards for its Mediterranean cuisine and International wine list. In the morning, step out the door and you're minutes from the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the Temple of Apollo and the Pláka.
