High standards hotel that provides all the necessary facilities to calm down and rest, a bit expensi
Pros:

Luxurious 5 star hotel with very high quality facilities, rich breakfast and good location of about 20-30 minutes of walking to the center of Athens. We were lucky to find a free parking near the hotel

Cons:

The outdoor pool was closed at this season (opens only in May), pretty expensive.

Great Base Hotel - Fantastic Views - Club Lounge Food Offerings Under par
Pros:

As a regular visitor to Europe & USA staying at Intercontinental Hotels I chose this one in Athens as my preferred base.

The room I booked was extremely spacious, scrupulously clean, airy and bright. It came with a mini-safe, mini bar, large comfortable sofas, arm chairs, and mood lighting which added a lovely ambience to the room.

The power shower in the bathroom was fantastic, the heating and air conditioning worked really well. All in all everything was great regarding the room.

The Club Lounge food offerings was the only thing that has prevented me offering a
5 star review of this establishment. I noticed the selection of hot and cold food offerings was limited compared to previous lounges, The staff working here were absolutely exceptional.

If I were to empathise with my point, all previous stays in Intercontinental Club Lounges, you come to expect a certain level of attentive service and quality of food.

The attentive service was as expected, but the quality and selection of food here was not as expected, the food in particular was never hot it was warm at best.

This was the same everyday so it was obviously the norm.

This is in no way a reflection of the staff It has merely become hotel policy to have food which is placed in the lounge to be kept on hot plates at a desired temperature.

One thing this hotel stood out on was the fantastic views you get of the acropolis, this was absolutely mesmerising. The hotel has a full open terrace which is accessed via the Club Lounge, so it's advisable to book a room with club access to appreciate the views on the 10th floor.

In conclusion, a lovely stay, good vibes, professional and attentive staff, I will definitely return here again in the future despite the trivial issues regarding food.

Great and disappointing
Pros:

Staff is very attentive and friendly, excellent choices at breakfast.

Cons:

Cockroach in the shower, no access to the rooftop area unless you pay €130 for a full day of drinks and meals. Not great if you are on a work trip and out all day.
