Athens Hotels
Insights from kimkim local specialists for our hand-selected hotels in Athens, Greece
Athens may be known for the Acropolis and as the birthplace of democracy, but its history and culture go beyond the ancient, and kimkim's handpicked hotels reflect that. For example, Electra Metropolis blends the ancient and the modern in its 1950s building constructed around a 16th-century chapel, offering contemporary rooms with Acropolis views. If you're interested in Greece's famous hospitality, check out Sweet Home Hotel, a family-run boutique hotel in Plaka that really does feel like home. Or, for a totally different experience, try The Foundry Suites, a stylish industrial space with the best rooftop garden in the city (with an Acropolis view, of course).
