A stylish stay with an Acropolis-facing rooftop in the heart of ancient Athens.
Zeus Essence Athens Central brings a touch of modernity to the land of ancient ruins. It’s got a great spot, with the city’s must-sees on its doorstep and buzzing shopping streets and local Greek tavernas just a short stroll away. The hotel is just what you’d expect from a 5-star stay. Think exceptional service, delicious food and a modern stylish design. It’s the rooftop that really steals the show though. Gaze at centuries-old sights whilst sipping cocktails after a day exploring. And if you didn’t get enough steps in whilst you were out and about, there’s also a gym too.
