Teun, Netherlands

Location is at the foot of the Acropolis, with a view of the Parthenon, perfectly located in the center. The rooms are contemporary, inviting and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Both restaurants are superb.

Paul, United States of America

The staff was fabulous. Breakfast each morning was delicious, particularly the chocolate and hazelnut pancakes and the mushroom and leek tart. The location was nearly perfect. This might well have been THE best hotel stay I’ve ever had.

Christine, United States of America

Great location, very close to everything. Awesome restaurant with great view

Larisa, United States of America

Communication was clear and helpful prior to arrival. We were also treated to a bottle of champagne and fruit upon arrival. We had an early tour the next morning, so the restaurant wait staff rushed our order and even packed a treat to go. Location was really perfect for our short stay and we enjoyed the balcony. Bed was super comfy!

Linda, United States of America

Rooms are well designed. Lovely bathroom. View from restaurant is spectacular. Food is very good. Breakfast was intearkable.

An Inside Look at AthensWas Hotel

AthensWas hotel is the only hotel in its class situated on the best-known and most beautiful pedestrian walkway in Athens: Dionysiou Areopagitou street.The walkway skirts the sacred rock of the Acropolis and the Parthenon, the city’s most important and awe-inspiring classical monument and the emblem of Athens since antiquity. It also connects the New Acropolis Museum, recognized internationally as one of the most beautiful and fascinating museums in the world, with the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Athens’ superb Roman-era theatre, which hosts concerts, operas and theatrical performances every summer, gracing the Athens Festival with its splendid aura. AthensWas is a Design HotelTM and it is designed in line with the core principles of classical modernism. The aesthetic of its rooms and communal spaces is defined by clean, uncluttered lines and natural materials—chiefly Greek marble and wood. AthensWas has a rooftop bar which enjoys an amazing panoramic view of the Acropolis, Lycabettus and the city as a whole, from the mountains that define its eastern and western boundaries, to the northern horizon and the sea to the south.
