Electra Metropolis - Athens

Electra Metropolis provides a front row seat to the city’s ancient landmarks, within easy reach of Athens’ buzzing restaurants and shops. Inside, sleek design with a classical twist sets the tone for a welcoming stay, enhanced by a striking lobby mural, an in-house art gallery and installations by local artists. Kick back poolside on the rooftop and take in spectacular views of the Acropolis, then head indoors for a delectable Mediterranean meal at the on-site restaurant. For relaxation, the spa offers signature treatments, while fitness facilities range from a well-equipped gym to yoga sessions in the hotel’s gardens.

Located at the beginning of Mitropoleos Street, the hotel sits 350 metres from Syntagma Square and its metro station. The surrounding area is packed with museums, shops and dining spots, while the Monastiraki flea market and the Temple of Olympian Zeus are both around half a mile away. The Acropolis is less than a mile from the hotel, and Ermou Street – Athens’ prime shopping strip – is also within half a mile. Athens International Airport is around 20 miles away.

Rooms offer a calm retreat from the city, tastefully decorated in warm tones with natural wooden floors. Plush beds, soft lighting and thoughtful touches set a relaxing tone, while luxurious details elevate the experience further – think Korres bath amenities and advanced soundproofing. Standard amenities include a smart TV, a Nespresso machine, plush bathrobes and a minibar. Many rooms also feature private balconies, some offering memorable views of the Acropolis.
