Other facilities

Electra Palace Athens boasts a rooftop pool with enviously beautiful views of the Acropolis. In the summer months, the stylish rooftop bar serves classic Greek Salads, the must-try striftoudi pasta and expertly crafted cocktails.

When relaxation calls, retreat to the hotel’s inviting garden, framed by lush greenery and dotted with quiet patios and seating areas. The spa is equally tempting, showcasing locally sourced products and treatments designed to ease you into a state of ‘evexia’, deeply restorative sense of wellbeing. During the winter months, adults can book time in the spa’s heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi, while children are welcome during daytime hours until 14:00. A soothing sauna and steam room add to the indulgence, and there’s also an on-site gym available to book.

Dining information

Start your day at the picturesque Electra Roof Garden, where postcard-worthy views of the Acropolis set the scene for a varied breakfast selection. This scenic rooftop space also transforms into a relaxed lunch and dinner spot, with evening service beginning at 19:00. For a more intimate dining experience, head to Zohos in the hotel’s garden, often described as one of Athens’ kept secrets. Here, Greek-style tapas and authentic flavours take centre stage, with many meze dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients.

Later, venture to the Duck Tail Bar, where a mahogany backdrop and sleek furnishings welcome you. Sample a curated collection of Greek wines or try one of the signature cocktails, such as Artemis – a distinctive blend of apricot liqueur and local sparkling wine.
