About the hotel
Set on Lycabettus Hill in Athens’ chic Kolonaki district, and boasting stunning views of the Acropolis, the St George Lycabettus is renowned as one of Athens’ most glamorous hotels. The finest cultural destinations, business facilities and shopping are on its doorstep, and the pine-clad hill provides a welcome green space for relaxing walks.
The focus on design is what makes this hotel unique. All rooms are individually decorated in gentle muted colours with Greek accents throughout. Comfortable and stylish, the design creates a relaxed ambience from which to enjoy the best this vibrant city has to offer.
Breathtaking views can be enjoyed throughout the hotel, and are most memorable from Le Grand Balcon restaurant, one of Athens’ most prestigious eateries. Thanks to its reputation for elegance, style and discretion the hotel has hosted many famous guests over the years, including Princess Michael of Kent, Jeremy Irons, and Irene Pappas, who is a permanent resident.
