The original luxury hotel of Plaka — Electra Palace, the first five-star hotel in the historic district (1973). Indoor and outdoor pools. The rooftop pool and garden restaurant directly face the Acropolis — a breakfast here with the Parthenon glowing in morning light is a premier hotel experiences in Athens. Classic five-star service. Superior rooms and suites have direct Acropolis views. Plaka's best location.
Why We Chose It
The original luxury hotel of Plaka — Electra Palace, the first five-star hotel in the historic district (1973). Indoor and outdoor pools. The rooftop pool and garden restaurant directly face the Acropolis — a breakfast here with the Parthenon glowing in morning light is a premier hotel experiences in Athens. Classic five-star service. Superior rooms and suites have direct Acropolis views. Plaka's best location. Confirm room position, pool season, accessibility, transportation, and cancellation terms before booking; Riviera hotels are far from central archaeological sites.
What Stands Out
- First 5-star hotel in Plaka (1973): Athens' most classic luxury address in the historic center
- Rooftop pool + garden restaurant: breakfast with direct Acropolis view is extraordinary
- Both indoor and outdoor pools — rare in central Athens
- Superior rooms and suites: direct Acropolis view from your room
- Classic five-star service in a historic property
