Hilton

Frommer's Review

When the Hilton opened in 1963, it was the tallest building on the horizon -- and the most modern hotel in town. In 2001, it closed for a long-overdue renovation, and 3 years and 96 million euros later, it reopened. Everything that was tired is again new and fresh. As before, small shops, a salon, and cafes and restaurants surround the glitzy lobby. The guest rooms (looking toward either the hills outside Athens or the Acropolis) have large marble bathrooms and are decorated in the generic but comfortable international Hilton style, with some Greek touches. The Plaza Executive floor of rooms and suites offers a separate business center and a higher level of service. Facilities include a large outdoor pool, conference rooms, and a spa. Even if you're not staying here, make sure to dine at the superb Milos seafood restaurant and have a drink around sunset at the Galaxy rooftop with its amazing city views. For 10€ ($13) visitors can use you can use the pool for the day. The Hilton often runs promotions, so ask about special rates before booking.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; 3 bars; outdoor pool; indoor pool; health club and spa w/Jacuzzi; game room; concierge; tour desk; car rental desk; airport pickup arranged; business center; secretarial services; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning services; nonsmoking rooms/floors; rooms for those with limited mobility.
