PB hotel design editorial

Directly facing the Hellenic Parliament across Syntagma Square, on one of the most politically charged corners in modern European history, the King George has served as witness and occasional participant in Greece's turbulent twentieth century since its construction in 1930. The neoclassical facade — seven storeys of warm Pentelic marble-toned render, arched ground-floor arcades, and iron balustrades marching in precise cadence across the upper floors — announces itself as a civic building as much as a hotel, its 102 rooms and suites positioned within a structure that Churchill, de Gaulle, and various Greek heads of state treated as something close to a second seat of government. The interiors, refreshed under the Luxury Collection's stewardship, hold a considered tension between the building's aristocratic bones and a more approachable warmth. Rooms carry herringbone-laid oak parquet throughout, Murano glass chandeliers suspended from coffered ceilings in shades of amber and rose, and ornately carved gilt headboards that sit convincingly against cream-panelled walls dressed with white plasterwork mouldings. The public salon deploys a pair of large-scale Old Master-style oil portraits flanking an carved stone fireplace, tufted velvet ottomans anchoring a Persian Tabriz carpet — the atmosphere closer to a private Athenian townhouse than conventional hotel grandeur. On the rooftop, wrought-iron garden chairs face the Acropolis with an immediacy that no other address on the square can match.

King George, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens Reviews

"We stayed at the King George Hotel in Athens over New Year, and it was truly a wonderful experience. As a Lifetime Platinum member, I was very pleased to be upgraded to a lovely, generously sized room with a spectacular view of the Acropolis. The room had two balconies overlooking the square, which made the stay extra special as we were even able to watch the New Year’s celebrations directly from our balcony, an unforgettable moment. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the city. Everything is within walking distance, making it easy to explore Athens and its main sights without needing transport. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, both in quality and variety, and the view of the Acropolis from the breakfast area made it even more special. The service throughout the hotel was outstanding. I honestly cannot find a single negative point. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches: a beautiful chocolate shaped like the hotel façade, and on New Year’s Eve, we were pleasantly surprised with a Vasilopita cake to enjoy on New Year’s Day. These gestures really made us feel welcome and valued. Overall, an exceptional stay with fantastic service, an unbeatable location, and memorable views. I would happily return and highly recommend the King George Hotel to anyone visiting Athens, especially for a special occasion."

"Such a wonderful hotel! My family spends 90 nights a year in hotels all over the world and I would place the King George right up at the top! Right off the bat, it’s in a perfect location. It’s one block to the Parliament building (don’t miss the changing of the guard at the top of every hour!), a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis, and an even shorter walk to all the shopping and restaurants you could ever want. The restaurant on the 7th floor has an amazing view of the Parthenon and a fireplace for coziness. The breakfast buffet was large, varied and delicious. The staff couldn’t have been any more attentive, friendly and helpful. We had two connecting rooms (fantastic for families!) and they were spacious with fresh flowers and nightly turn down service. 5 stars, two thumbs up, 10 out of 10. Just a great hotel!"

"I treated my granddaughter to a fabulous Spring Break trip to Greece. We stayed at the King George and it was pure perfection. . It is luxurious, beautiful, and perfectly located. The staff are friendly, efficient, and anticipate your every need. Communication prior to arrival was simple and helpful. Our gorgeous room had a view of the Acropolis, an unexpected treat. We had dinner at Tudor Hall and it was the most fabulous meal of our trip with impeccable service and creative cuisine. All in all, a perfect visit. I hope to return and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Athens."
