Semiramis Hotel  

In leafy Kifisia on Athens' northern edge, this design-forward hotel sits above the city amid boutiques, cafes and tree-lined streets. It's a 3-minute drive to KAT Hospital and 7 minutes to the Olympic Athletic Center, and about 15–16 km from Syntagma Square and the Acropolis.

An intimate 51-room, design-led hotel that blends contemporary art with modern tech. Rooms come with minibars, DVD players, en-suite bathrooms (many with bathtubs) and options for balconies or terraces. The property feels like an elevated urban oasis, with rotating art exhibitions and a calm, creative vibe.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool with sun loungers and a poolside bar. Unwind in the spa, sauna or steam room, or hit the health club for a workout. Complimentary Wi-Fi and free self-parking make stays effortless.

A 24-hour business center and conference/event facilities support meetings and events. Limo/town-car service, concierge and daily housekeeping keep business trips streamlined. Rooms include desks and laptop-compatible safes.

An on-site Italian restaurant and bar serves regional-flavored dishes alongside a poolside drinking spot. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available for a fee, and 24-hour room service covers late nights.
