Deck Plans

Cruise and Stay - Royal Olympic Hotel

Newly refurbished as a 5 Star ‘Art Hotel’, and reopened in August 2020, the Royal Olympic is one of the most exciting places to stay in Athens. It’s the ideal place for people who like their holiday accommodation to be a little extravagant. The public areas are sumptuously appointed, and the rooms are elegant. Come here and you cannot help but feel pampered and cosseted. If you need more reason to reserve your room the roof terrace, overlooking the Parthenon 300m away, is a total delight. Even Pericles who rebuilt the Acropolis in the Golden Age of Greece wouldn’t have had views like this as he ate his breakfast or dinner. Include a lovely swimming pool in which to cool off after a day sightseeing and it’s altogether wonderful. The central location makes it the perfect base to explore the antiquities by day and the cafes and restaurant areas by night. Although if you don’t take at least one dinner on the roof-terrace to see the illuminated city you really will be missing out.
