What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s been in the family since 1976 and its elegant tree trunk pillars and colour-changing leaves are inspired by the park opposite.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The shaded paths of Pedion tou Areos sit directly across the avenue, and the National Archaeological Museum is a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms take their brown and green tones from the forest, and most look out directly over the park treetops.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wooden cabanas line the seasonal rooftop pool, looking out over the Athens skyline toward Lycabettus Hill.
The spa and gym
Elixis Spa Center pairs a wooden sauna cabin and hammam with face and body treatments.
At the table
10 Urban Roof serves creative Greek dishes and cocktails beside the open-air pool on the tenth floor.
How it began
The Deverikos family opened the property in 1976, operating it as an independent landmark before joining Radisson Blu.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
