Property details

A five-star city centre bolthole with views of Athens’ ancient skyline - includes breakfast
  • Perfectly centred: Zeus Essence Wyndham Athens Residence has a stellar location in Greece’s capital city, within walking distance of many ancient treasures including the 4,000-year-old Acropolis, bustling Monastiraki Square and the Roman Forum. The modern structure occupies a corner of upscale Karaiskaki Square, with coffee shops and bars all around.

  • Boutique made better: The hotel is a sleek extension of its sister property, offering upgrades from comfort to connectivity. The brand-new hotel is impeccably outfitted, while guests of the Residence can also use the plentiful amenities of the nearby property including a pool, two restaurants and a spa area.

  • Eat among the gods: The rooftop restaurant serves up a blend of Greek and traditional Mediterranean cuisine with a side of stunning views: knock back coffee or cocktails, buffet breakfast staples and hot dishes with a panorama of Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in Athens and said to have been created by Athena herself.

How to get there

The hotel offers a handy shuttle service from Athens International Airport (25 miles), which you can book in advance for an additional fee. Otherwise, take advantage of the city’s surprisingly efficient and well-connected metro system. Take the train to Metaxourgio metro station, which is about a five-minute walk from the hotel.

Location and what's nearby

Zeus Essence Wyndham Athens Residence, Achilleos 2, Athens 104 37, Greece

From Karaiskai Square it’s just a short metro hop (or walk) to Athens’ top sights: the Acropolis and its dramatic Parthenon temple tower over the city streets, providing a great place to get your bearings and take in the views. The best way to get up there is by walking Plaka’s narrow lanes, stopping in at cocktail bars and little craft shops along the way. Continue your history lesson with a visit to the nearby National Archaeological Museum, about 15 minutes’ walk from the hotel.
