A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Occupying an enviable position on historic Syntagma Square, the King George, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens, is a refined sanctuary for discerning travellers. With just 63 guestrooms and 39 suites spread across nine elegant floors, this boutique property delivers an exclusive atmosphere that distinguishes it from its illustrious sister, the neighbouring Hotel Grande Bretagne. Originally constructed in 1930 as an extension of the Royal Palace and once home to Greece’s Prime Minister, the building’s heritage is palpable from the moment you step into its grand marble-clad lobby, illuminated by original Murano glass chandeliers.
Guests benefit from privileged access to the Grande Bretagne’s acclaimed indoor pool, while the King George’s own fitness centre is newly equipped with the latest Technogym equipment, providing a state-of-the-art wellness experience. On the seventh floor, the celebrated Tudor Hall restaurant presents contemporary Greek cuisine crafted from seasonal ingredients, all served against a breathtaking panoramic backdrop of Athens and the Acropolis.
The ninth floor is reserved for the hotel’s crown jewel: the Penthouse Suite. This signature accommodation boasts two sumptuous bedrooms and a private rooftop pool, offering sweeping, unobstructed views of the Parthenon. The suite’s sheer comfort and privacy make it a destination in itself—many guests find little reason to leave during their stay. The hotel welcomes families and guests with accessibility needs, but maintains a strict no-pets policy to preserve its tranquil ambiance.
