Michelin Guide "Contemporary design hotel on the main plaza of a leafy suburb. Flamboyant colour schemes feature inside and out, and are complemented by vibrant modern furnishings."
Frommer's "This is by far the most stunning of the designer hotels in Athens." Full review
Concierge "Most objects in the 52 rooms here are amoeba-shaped and electric-ice-cream-colored—because this is Karim Rashid's first hotel, and that is what he does."
Travel + Leisure "This is an ideal base for schmoozing, but not for sightseeing—it’s a 35-minute metro ride from the city center." Full review

It’s worth paying extra for a suite.
Rough Guide "Right in the heart of Pláka, this luxurious hotel has excellent facilities, including indoor and rooftop pools, plus a gym and sauna."
Star Service "Located 400 meters from Syntagma Square and 800 meters from the Acropolis, this property overlooks a narrow street and is just around the corner from the city's oldest neighborhood." Full review

Not all Superiors have balconies so be sure to request one in advance.

"This five-star hotel in Athens is a peaceful base for visiting the city’s top attractions — it’s a five-minute walk to Syntagma Square and 15 minutes to the Acropolis." Full review
U.S. News & World Report4.0
"For classic Greek decor, top-notch service and close proximity to many of central Athens' shops, restaurants and attractions, visitors recommend staying at the Electra Palace Athens." Full review

To avoid these issues, upgrade to a superior room or suite – which all have views of the Acropolis – on a higher floor.
