Hilton Athens, hotel in Athens, Greece
The Hilton Athens is a tall building in the heart of the city with a modern design from the 1960s. It offers numerous rooms with large windows, multiple restaurants, swimming pools, and a rooftop bar with views of the Acropolis and surrounding areas.
The hotel opened in 1963 as the first international chain hotel in Athens and became a symbol of Greece's growing tourism. It underwent renovation in 2003 to prepare for the Olympics and began major redevelopment in 2022.
The hotel's exterior features reliefs created by artist Yiannis Moralis that draw inspiration from Greek themes. These artistic elements give the building a local character that connects visitors to Athens' creative traditions.
The hotel is centrally located on Vassilissis Sofias Avenue and within walking distance of Evangelismos metro station, museums, and historic sites. Staff can assist with tour planning and provide information to help you navigate the city.
The rooftop Galaxy Bar offers guests an uncommon vantage point to see the Acropolis from the northern edge of the city. During the 2004 Olympics, the hotel served as headquarters for the Olympic Committee, briefly making it the nerve center of the global sporting event.
