A Grand Dame on Syntagma Square
Dating back to 1930, King George occupies a distinguished position on Syntagma Square, placing one of Athens’ most historic luxury hotels at the heart of the city. From this elegant address, the Acropolis, Plaka, Ancient Agora, Monastiraki and Thissio are all within easy reach, alongside celebrated museums, designer boutiques and the energy of Athens’ business district.
Rooms Steeped in Athens History
The hotel’s 102 rooms and suites combine classical elegance with contemporary comfort. Oversized windows, hardwood floors, classic cornicing, hand-picked antiques and plush silk drapes create interiors rich in character, while selected rooms open onto private patios or balconies. The exceptional Penthouse Suite adds a private outdoor pool and spectacular views towards the Acropolis.
Tudor Hall Above the City
On the seventh floor, Michelin-starred Tudor Hall Restaurant offers a sophisticated setting for contemporary cuisine with an unmistakable sense of place. Neo-classical interiors frame extraordinary views of the Acropolis, while seasonal dishes, an extensive selection of Greek wines and expertly crafted cocktails make dining here an essential part of the King George experience.
The Heart of Athens
Few hotels offer such an elegant base from which to experience the capital. Ancient monuments, lively neighbourhoods, museums and sophisticated shopping are all within walking distance, while the hotel itself provides a serene retreat from the energy of the city.
A Classic Athens Address
With its 1930s heritage, highly individual interiors, personalised service and extraordinary Acropolis views, King George remains a defining luxury address in Athens. It is a hotel where the grandeur of the city’s past meets the pleasures of contemporary Greek hospitality, right at the centre of the capital.
