King George A Luxury Collection Hotel

"What a fabulous hotel, just over 100 rooms. The staff were brilliant helpful, friendly and caring. Concierges, porters and front desk, morning servers. Comfortable bed, Super good soft goods, big towels and robes that fit a normal human being. Large bathroom, shower with a safety bar, but only one overhead shower head. Very good bathroom amenities and very good A/C. Turndown service and endless supplies of drinking water. A welcome gift on arrival and a note is such a personal part of hospitality after a long flight. Good sized mini suite. We enjoyed both bars, the roof top very nice indeed, and an excellent daily breakfast - those hand pies and the yoghurt wowsers. Excellent location for everything and the city bus tours. We did use the hotel car service which while expensive was totally reliable and safe. Close by were several very good restaurants. We cannot recommend this hotel staff enough."

"We’ve stayed at the King George hotel in the past and had a wonderful time. The past stay was even better. As others have noted, the location of the hotel can’t be beat for tourists. It’s right on Syntagma Square, next to Parliament. It’s a 2 minute walk to Ermou Street, one of Athens’ prime shopping district and walking distance to a lot of great neighborhoods of Athens – the Plaka, Monastiraki and Kolonaki. It’s easy to get cabs right out in front if you don’t feel like walking and the metro is literally across the street from the hotel. The hotel is a sister property to the much larger Grande Bretagne that is next door. Having stayed at both, I really prefer the smaller feel of the King George – it’s just more intimate and understated. The décor is all classic luxury – muted tones, marble, soft lighting, etc. Our King room was very large for Athens standards, with a king sized bed, full desk, sofa, side chair and two walk-out balconies with views of the Parthenon. It has all the modern touches you would want – USB charging ports, convenient panels for lighting / room controls, coffee maker, fridge, etc. The hotel has made some really nice upgrades to the hotel bathrooms – many of the old tubs have been replaced with massive walk-in showers. They are all updated, but maintain that timeless classic, white marble bathroom elegance. Food at the hotel, is just superb. Breakfast is served in the Michelin starred Tudor Hall. The restaurant has a very elegant dining room and patio with wonderful views of the Parthenon. Breakfast is just wonderful with a lot of fresh and made to order items. We’ve eaten at Tudor Hall on each of our past trips to Athens, and it continues to impress. This past trip, we ate a handful of other Michelin star restaurants in Athens, and Tudor Hall was simply the best meal of the trip. The service is seamless and unobtrusive, food is plated like artwork and the taste is just sublime. There is a full gym with weights and machines, a sauna / steam and business center. The only thing lacking is a pool, so guests have to go the Grand Bretagne. We were there in early April so wasn’t that hot, but I could imagine wanted better access in the summer months. Still we didn’t really mind, it’s just worth noting. Service continues to be very impressive at the hotel. They arranged private tours for us, transfers, made reservations, gave suggestions on what to do. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly. This continues to be one of my favorite Bonvoy hotels in the world, and we’ll absolutely go back."

"We stayed at the King George Hotel in Athens over New Year, and it was truly a wonderful experience. As a Lifetime Platinum member, I was very pleased to be upgraded to a lovely, generously sized room with a spectacular view of the Acropolis. The room had two balconies overlooking the square, which made the stay extra special as we were even able to watch the New Year’s celebrations directly from our balcony, an unforgettable moment. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the city. Everything is within walking distance, making it easy to explore Athens and its main sights without needing transport. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, both in quality and variety, and the view of the Acropolis from the breakfast area made it even more special. The service throughout the hotel was outstanding. I honestly cannot find a single negative point. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches: a beautiful chocolate shaped like the hotel façade, and on New Year’s Eve, we were pleasantly surprised with a Vasilopita cake to enjoy on New Year’s Day. These gestures really made us feel welcome and valued. Overall, an exceptional stay with fantastic service, an unbeatable location, and memorable views. I would happily return and highly recommend the King George Hotel to anyone visiting Athens, especially for a special occasion."
