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.”

"Luxurious stay with stunning Acropolis views, top-notch service, and a prime location near Ermou St
My stay at Electra Metropolis Hotel in Athens was absolutely perfect. The highlight of my experience was the stunning view of the Acropolis from the rooftop, where we enjoyed a delightful breakfast. The breakfast spread offered a wide variety of choices, featuring authentic Greek dishes, and everything was simply delicious. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Athens, very close to Ermou Street and excellent shopping options, including luxury brands. It’s ideal for exploring the city and enjoying some retail therapy. It is easy to explore the city and visit major attractions. The rooms were luxurious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything one might need. The housekeeping was impeccable, with the room being cleaned twice a day—once in the morning and again in the evening. The service was top-notch, and the staff was very welcoming and professional. During breakfast, I asked a staff member to find a table with a view of the Acropolis, and she handled it with such efficiency and care, making the experience even more special. When I return to Athens, I will definitely stay here again. Electra Metropolis Hotel truly exceeded my expectations, from the exceptional service to the elegant rooms and outstanding amenities. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Athens!

Great hotel, definitely will be back
Great hotel, one of the we have ever been to! The room are comfortable and spacious, with a view to the acropolis. It is very clean and with high standards. The breakfast is recommended, you will have everything you're heart desires and if not they will bring it to you. The staff at the hotel is kind and ready to assist and advise. The location is remarkable! - just a few feet away from ermou street and main squares without the noise and crowd. When we asked about the checked out time the staff asked when we really need to leave and offered us a late checkout without being asked to... We had a great time. For sure we recommend the hotel and will come back!

The perfect place to stay to completely fall in love with Athens.
Oh my goodness the view from the restaurant. What a way to start the day! The staff are lovely and very helpful. The rooms were great, clean and modern. The location is right in the heart of everything but the rooms are quiet. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely hotel, great views, great breakfast, great staff
This property and the room presented themselves very well, with reality being very close to the impression we had formed from looking at the hotel on Booking.com. We had an Acropolis view and it did not disappoint. Aggelos at reception/concierge was extraordinary and made us feel very welcome, valued and excited to be there and begin exploring the neighbourhood, despite having arrived with jet lag after an overnight trip. We would choose the hotel again in an instant.
The indoor pool is a bit too cool and the spa portion of the pool is no warmer. This was a bit of a disappointment. Breakfast upstairs is excellent, with the fabulous view, but dinner was overpriced and, for an elegant restaurant, they tolerated too many poorly-dressed, loud patrons, and that destroyed the experience. I would not eat again at the dining room on 10.

Location was central, close to everything. One of the best views of the Acropolis & Parthenon. Loved having breakfast while watching the Parthenon.
The lighting in the bathroom was a little dark. It was hard to put makeup on because of the lighting. The room service menu needed some smaller dishes or snacks, such as chips, bread, etc
