Overview

At Philippos, you’re perfectly placed to experience Athens from a peaceful base at the foot of the Acropolis. Family-run and known for its excellent value, this welcoming city hotel suits travellers who want to be within walking distance of the main sights. Alongside its relaxed, contemporary feel. Mornings begin with a generous breakfast in the bright dining area, while the surrounding neighbourhood offers a wide choice of tavernas, cafes and bars for relaxed lunches and atmospheric evening meals.

Many of the city’s headline attractions are right on your doorstep. The Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum are under half a mile north-west, while the Odeon of Herodes Atticus lies approximately a quarter of a mile west. The Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Arch of Hadrian are both about half a mile east, with the latter just slightly north. Wander just over half a mile north-west and you’ll reach Monastiraki Square, known for its markets and lively atmosphere, while the Ancient Agora is under a mile north-west of the hotel. A nearby metro and tram stop, only a few steps away, connects you easily to other districts and the main shopping areas. Athens International Airport is approximately 21 miles east.

Inside, the look is cosy yet chic, with contemporary decor complemented by antiques and Greek artwork. The lounge offers a quiet corner for coffee or reading, and the individual rooms are designed with comfort and practicality in mind. Expect plenty of natural light, warm tones and thoughtful details, with options overlooking the city or internal courtyard, and some featuring private balconies with views towards the Acropolis. In-room amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, satellite and LG Smart TV, a mini-fridge, an electronic safe and well-appointed bathrooms with either a bathtub or shower.

Dining information

Your day begins with breakfast served in the nearby Herodion Hotel’s dedicated breakfast area. Enjoy an American-style buffet enriched with Greek and Mediterranean flavours in a bright, welcoming space dressed in warm tones and natural light. Freshly baked pies, traditional delicacies and wholesome local ingredients take centre stage, alongside familiar morning favourites, all thoughtfully presented to set you up for a day exploring Athens. For relaxed moments throughout the day, the Belvedere Terrace at Philippos offers an inviting open-air setting with views that live up to its name. From here, you can sip coffee in the morning sunshine with the Acropolis forming an unforgettable backdrop.

Head back to the Herodion Hotel and you’ll also have access to additional dining and bar options. The Atrium Bar & Restaurant is a light-filled Bistrot-style space serving Mediterranean dishes for lunch and dinner. For something more elevated, Point A rooftop bar combines striking design with panoramic views of the Acropolis, offering creative cocktails and refined plates in a stylish terrace environment. Downstairs, the elegant bar adjacent to the Atrium provides a quieter alternative.
