The best mid-luxury hotel in central Athens — Electra Metropolis on Mitropoleos Street, built in 2016 over the ruins of Themistocles' Wall (visible through glass floors). The 10th-floor rooftop garden pool and restaurant with direct Acropolis views is the most enjoyable hotel pool experience in central Athens. Steps from Syntagma metro. Excellent service and design for the price point.
Why We Chose It
The best mid-luxury hotel in central Athens — Electra Metropolis on Mitropoleos Street, built in 2016 over the ruins of Themistocles' Wall (visible through glass floors). The 10th-floor rooftop garden pool and restaurant with direct Acropolis views is the most enjoyable hotel pool experience in central Athens. Steps from Syntagma metro. Excellent service and design for the price point. Confirm room position, pool season, accessibility, transportation, and cancellation terms before booking; Riviera hotels are far from central archaeological sites.
What Stands Out
- Built over Themistocles' Wall ruins — glass floors reveal archaeology below
- 10th-floor rooftop pool: the best mid-range hotel pool with Acropolis views in Athens
- Rooftop restaurant with Mediterranean menu and Lycabettus views
- Steps from Syntagma metro (airport line)
- Excellent value: the most sought-after mid-range hotel in central Athens
