Editor Tips & Helpful Hints

The hotel's breakfast buffet comes highly recommended, with a bit more "oomph" than your typical continental European spread of croissants, fruit, coffee, and juice.
Three important family-friendly amenities are the swimming pool, babysitting services, and functioning A/C (not always the case in Athens hotels).
Watch an open-air film on the rooftop of nearby Cine Paris, a unique way to taste Plaka's cultural nighttime vibe.

Like many Athenian hotels, the Electra Palace was refurbished for the 2004 Olympic Games and boasts reliable modern amenities and clean, comfortable decor. Families will appreciate the central location in Plaka for easy access to the major tourist sights, always a big bonus when you're trying to hustle a group of kids out the door.

Description:

This is a modern block in traditional Athens style. Overall this is a very good superior property. The large, neo-classical style lobby features a marble floor, beautiful chaise longue, sofas and plants, a large size reception desk and a bar/lounge area. There are also large chandeliers in the reception giving the area a very bright and elegant feeling. This is the sister hotel of the Electra and has been renovated and refurbished to very high standard. There is a five minute walk between the two with the hotel located in the heart of the famous Plaka, shopping and entertainment district.
