About the Hotel
Nestled in the heart of Athens, beneath the iconic Acropolis Hill and surrounded by some of the city's most famous landmarks -including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Tower of the Winds and the Temple of Olympian Zeus- the Arethusa Hotel invites you to experience the vibrant energy of this historic city. Inspired by the iconic architecture of the late 1960s and the modern urban vibes of Athens, this 3-star hotel with 87 rooms is located on Mitropoleos Street, a prime spot that blends retro charm with the bustling atmosphere of one of downtown’s most commercial areas. Just a short walk (3 minutes) from Syntagma Square and the central metro station, as well as the Parthenon (10-15 minutes), the Arethusa Hotel is the perfect base for tourists. Immerse yourselves in authentic Athenian life while sightseeing and explore Greece’s rich history. The hotel’s central location also makes it an ideal spot for discovering some of Athens’ hidden gems, including high-end jewelry boutiques, unique concept stores, third-wave coffee shops, top-notch restaurants and local artists’ ateliers and galleries. For the most jaw-dropping view of the city, head to the hotel’s rooftop. Grab a Fer-Forgé chair, relax, and let the Athenian sun reflect off the ancient marbles of the Parthenon gleaming in the sunlight. This spot will soon be even more spectacular, as the rooftop is set for a complete renovation to become one of Athens' most dazzling destinations. Whatever your needs, let our experienced staff help you in the best way possible. Hospitality is one of the Arethusa Hotel's core values, and it's only a request away for you to experience it. Available 24 hours, our staff at the front desk can arrange car rentals, taxi calls, and guided tours, while offering valuable information on transportation and sightseeing, whether it’s a visit to the Acropolis or a ride to Sounion.
