The luxury hotel was built in 1982 and consists of 10 floors and a total of 314 rooms, of which 10 are singles, 260 are doubles and 44 are suites. The hotel offers a lobby with a 24-hour reception, a hairdresser's salon, a bar and a cafe. A visit to the roof terrace with separate non-smoking area on the 10th floor is especially recommended, as it offers a dream-like view out over Athens. Guests may park their cars in the hotel garage.
Close to the city's business and financial districts and a short distance from many of the ancient sites, the hotel is suitable for business and leisure travellers alike.

Very spacious rooms with marble bathrooms, some of which have views of the Acropolis, are only surpassed by the magical views from the rooftop restaurant, Premire.
