About

Melia Athens

Melia Athens sits on Chalkokondili Street, at the edge of the city's shopping district.

The hotel is 4-star, with a lobby that leads to rooms that range from standard doubles to interconnecting family configurations and a junior suite.

The rooftop is the hotel's centrepiece: a seasonal pool, sun terrace, bar and restaurant with views toward the Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill. Inside, guests find a spa with sauna, jacuzzi and massage services, a fitness centre, and a restaurant serving breakfast and special diet menus. Parking is available on site, and the hotel offers a paid airport shuttle.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

3 to weigh

  • Location rating lower than other categories — While central, the location scores 7 out of 10, slightly below rooms and dining, suggesting it may not suit everyone's ideal spot.
