Expert reviews
“This 216-room hotel has sweeping views of the Parthenon, an outdoor pool, and is centrally located near Syntagma Square. There are three restaurants, a rooftop bar, a sauna and a Turkish bath in the Electra Metropolis.”
“The Electra Metropolis marries the retro chic aesthetics of the ’50s and ’60s with the modernity of the 21st century. High up on the 10th floor is the roof garden with a stunning 360° panoramic view of Athens and beyond.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Athens.
“The rooms are polished and the location couldn’t be more central, but the trump card at this five-star hotel in downtown Athens is undoubtedly the roof terrace, thanks to a small pool and full-blown views of the Parthenon.”

Amazing view, breakfast is takes place on the top floor with a nice terrace, you can get a table outside or inside, the walls are made out of glass so even if you stay inside you can still enjoy the view. The hotel is in a perfect location, we walked to the Acropolis from the hotel. Very nice place.
We got two separate beds moved together even though we wanted one big bed but we didn't complain so it was still good.

Beautiful luxury stay in Athens.
Location was exceptional. Room was first rate and everything you would expect of a 5 star hotel. Breakfast was great and view was amazing. Even got a rainbow on this particular morning with a view of the Acropolis. Added bonus. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Everything was beautiful, No issues at all.

A comfortable stay in an excellent location.
We liked that it was very central and easy to walk to any of the sights and lots of restaurants in any direction. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was very good, and the view amazing. The pillows were some of the best I’ve experienced at an hotel.
Unfortunately - not the hotel’s fault - but there were bottle banks directly under our windows which made it extremely noisy in the evenings and late into the night when they were being used or emptied. A good pair of ear plugs required!

Highly recommend this nice luxury hotel to anyone who wants to stay in a vibrant part of downtown Athens.
Well situated in the Plaka district in Athens, Greece. Walking distance to all the historical sites and museums we came to see. The breakfasts from the 10th floor restaurant with views of the Acropolis were a well added treat.
This hotel came recommended to us by friends and was well worth the stay. Even though we were there during the 2-3 week of October, we would have loved it if they kept the swimming pool on the 10th floor opened longer into the night.

Great Breakfast so many choices . Great location. Staff very pleasant and attentive - really couldn’t fault it.
Maybe the Decor in the rooms is a little dated but I’m an Architect so it’s probably not an issue.

Outstanding room, great bed, sheets and towels. Breakfast choices were excellent. Location is perfect. The roof top bar overlooking the Acropolis is magical.
They put a women on the second floor which needed no passcard security needed to get to her room. This was not a thoughtful assignment. Nor was the garbage cart outside my room appreciated.
