What to expect: This five-story 1970s building lies in a quiet residential street behind the edge of the Plaka district. Sliding glass doors lead into the peaceful lobby with a reception desk, a stone paved floor and whitewashed rough concrete walls. The lobby gives way to the Atrium Cafe, a glazed area with a wooden floor, a long wooden bar, tables, and chairs. Guests are a mix of tourists and businesspeople. Amenity highlights: Located on the ground floor, the hotel restaurant was remodeled in 2003. The original 1970s structure has been cleverly adapted to incorporate 21st-century designer chic: whitewashed rough concrete walls are played off against a gray marble food counter with an open-plan kitchen behind so guests can watch the chefs at work. Insider tip: The Herodion claims that no other hotel in Athens has a roof terrace in such close proximity to the Acropolis. From the terrace, guests have a clear view of the Odeon of Herodus Atticus, the ancient Greek open-air theater where the Athens Summer Festival takes place each summer.
Guests of the hotel enjoy a complimentary buffet breakfast each morning. Main restaurant - This space was redesigned in 2003, and now comprises a wooden floor, white concrete walls and columns, minimalist wooden tables and chairs with white table linens, and a gray marble food counter with an open-plan cooking area. It is open daily for breakfast (complimentary), lunch and dinner. Atrium cafe - This glazed atrium has been cleverly designed to incorporate two existing trees into the roof structure. It is light and airy, and is open all day for coffee, tea, drinks and light snacks.
