Divani Palace Acropolis Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

This is the best hotel in Athens with a long history, splendid decoration and meticulous maintenance. The location is located in Syntagma Square in the center of the city. It is convenient to walk to various attractions in the city. The rooftop garden restaurant on the roof is the best place to enjoy the delicious food and beautiful scenery of the Acropolis. It's a pity that the room allocated to us just faces the Cigar Lounge downstairs, and the thick smoke smell has also soaked into the private bedding in the room over the years. We couldn't stand it. We called the front desk and only sent a lady to the scene , She returned as soon as she understood the situation. We waited quietly for no further information, and then called the front desk an hour later to ask for a room change. Then another person said why you didn't tell us, that person was just a cleaning lady. We really don't know who she is, we just know that she was sent to solve the problem, but after waiting for an hour, the front desk didn't send anyone again, so we had to contact Ctrip. Ten minutes later, the front desk called to agree to upgrade the room. In addition, the air in the new room with street view is fresh, but the sound insulation is not good, and the sound of cars is noisy all night.

I stayed here as part of a business trip in Dec 2023. The hotel was relatively empty given the season but that was part of the reason I loved it. Everything from the check-in process to room service and dining options are amazing here. Location: Its located about 40 mins away from Athens city center. Right on the water the views are to die for! You can just sit on the balcony all day and take in the breeze, the views of the mountains and the water. Its so peaceful that for two days I forgot everything about my real life back home. Staff: Amazing staff, always willing to go above and beyond for client needs Dining: We had catered food for two days. Delicious food throughout and the desserts were something else. We ate at Beef bar one night. From the atmosphere to the food, everything was outstanding. I ordered in-room dining one day. Highly recommend trying the Greek mezze! Rooms: the rooms have been tastefully decorated and give you the feeling of absolute luxury. I can't wait to be back at this hotel.

It’s very difficult to articulate the O&O experience, the expression “you need to be there to fully appreciate” definitely applies here, but I’ll give it a go! From initially stepping foot through yes, the gated community to navigating the curated grounds, interactions with all staff members as you call a ‘kalimera’ to each one to when you leave, the ‘One&Only Experience’, as I’ve dubbed it, is truly unique. Some reviews here complain about the exclusivity but one knows this is what the brand manifests in advance. And it’s actually not so inclusive as to be snobby. From the private bungalows with their own gardens and plunge pools to walking the coastline and taking a cool glass of wine on the terrace with the Saronic islands and Peloponnese as your backdrop, the ambiance oozes relaxation and discretion. Greece is famous for its filoxenia and whilst O&O isn’t a Greek brand, it’s certainly adopted the natural friendliness this country is famed for; nothing feels forced or fake with the staff interactions. And as a solo female traveler in a large setting, I didn’t feel unsafe at all. Professionalism reigned ie: Reception did not hand over my bungalow key and state its number out loud, no wait staff asked for my room number out loud and no annoying comments such as ‘Only one?’ when being shown to a table for dining (this a particular sticking point of mine in general and in other establishments when it’s prefaced with ‘only’, as if this is something to be ashamed of!) Now for the basics: - Queen or King sized bed with mattress toppers that provide the best quality sleep - Pillows to sink into - Romantic setting in bungalow with outdoor fireplace - Separate shower and roll top bath and secluded enough to ensure you can soak with magnificent views from the floor to ceiling windows - Walk in closet And of course, their Guerlain spa.

This hotel is pure luxury. Everything was handled and we did not lift a finger. The food is amazing and the staff are all extremely professional. This hotel really understands luxury hospitality. The infinity pool with a view of the acropolis is outstanding, and the rooftop bar has delicious cocktails and canapé (sushi). The hotel printed our boarding passes and placed them in our room and they organized our tour guide. We had a deluxe room and an Athenian room and they were extremely comfortable. Even the toilet is fancy- there is a luxurious bidet with many settings. The location of the hotel is ideal. It is right in the center of town within walking distance of anywhere you want to go. The welcome drinks were delicious and the included breakfast was amazing with so many delicious choices for any tastes.

This hotel is not big, but the location is good, just 2 or 3 minutes walk to the entrance to the Acropolis. The hygiene in the room is very good. I ordered it earlier and it tastes good! This is the most satisfying hotel for this trip.

The location is great and some of the staff are too (was made to feel invisible on more than one occasion). if you’re expecting to have that moment of relief when you finally collapse on your bed following a tiring journey, this isn’t the place. I travel a lot and don’t mind paying premium prices but not for a less than ordinary room which this hotel is. I received an upgrade but even this resembled a poorly decorated worn out living room… not worth the money.

When I was younger, I spent two weeks in Greece to visit various places on the Peloponnese peninsula, but up until this year, I had never been to Athens before. I am someone who likes to explore places, and I often do not have day by day plans - but the one thing that is always important for me is a good base, a place to come back to in the late afternoon or evening to relax. I generally am not into nightlife, so I usually spend evenings in my accommodation - so I try to make sure to book a good place. I was tempted to go for a cheaper option, but after the last few years and all the stress, I decided to treat myself. Why earn all that money if I don’t use it right? I spent nine days in the Academias Hotel in Athens. I chose it because the location seemed ideal on a map. Fortunately, the reality also was not a disappointment. I visited the Acropolis a couple of times. It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk there, but I also saw that there are bus connections if you do not like to walk (I LOVE walking, because you also get to see more of the places and can sometimes come across interesting shops, parks, etc.). I could go on about places that are within easy reach, but you’re probably more interested in the hotel itself! The check-in was easy and I felt very welcome. There wasn’t a grumpy staff member in sight (hotel staff in certain places in the UK could learn from that friendliness!). I tried to impress with my few sentences of Greek that I learned, but fortunately, staff in this hotel has no problem with other languages. Not once during my stay did I have an issue with staff. They were all polite and respectful. The big plus for me also was that they did not annoy me. Friendly yes, but they did not make me feel harassed like it can happen in other hotels. While I did obviously check out photos of the hotel in advance before I booked, I was pleasantly surprised by my room (I booked a room with a king-sized bed). Everything was very clean, and there were BOOKS on the shelves. That was really a nice touch, I think. The bathroom was HUGE, and let me tell you: the showers are awesome. You’ll really appreciate a good shower after an active day in Athens, especially in summer! It was lovely! The room was nice and I had lots of space.The writing desk was perfect because I’m a writer and always in need of such a space! There was even a nice little coffee machine. Of course, also the usual stuff like a TV (with Netflix access!), shampoos, all the stuff you’d expect from a high quality hotel. The hotel has a lot to offer in addition to your actual room. There is a gym (I didn’t use that, I didn’t go on holiday to work out) and also a spa if you are into that. Worth a mention is the food as well. There’s a great restaurant with excellent views - and the food is just as excellent, which makes this a wonderful eating experience. Breakfast was also excellent, I really can’t complain. If you feel like trying something else, there are also plenty of restau

It started with the very warm welcome of Christina our Receptionist and Babis who took care of our luggage. The Check In was very smooth and friendly. We spend 5 days there and every day was a different level of experience from the amazing breakfast to the great wine selection. The rooms were always super clean and taken care of. The mini bar which is complementary was always fully stacked with water,refreshments and snacks. Dora our waitress upstairs at the rooftop was always proactive and knew already after the first day how we wanted our drinks and food. Which is in my opinion a level of detail worth to be mentioned. Overall it was 10 out of 10 experience !!! We will come back for sure - a very warm Efcharistó !
