The hotel houses 101 ultra-luxurious guestrooms, individually decorated with a rich residential feeling, complemented by the latest technology combining with the antique furniture and Murano chandeliers. David Copperfield and Christina Aguilera profess a weakness for the Royal Penthouse Suite which redefines the concept of luxury as it occupies the entire ninth floor, with wall paintings by Konstantin Kakanias and a terrace that incorporates a private pool, jacuzzi and an unsurpassed view of the Parthenon. Woody Allen and Ennio Morricone prefer the King George II Suite where the balconies look out over Constitution Square. |

Ideally located on Constitution Square, this hotel is one of the most famous landmarks in Athens, resting in the heart of the business and shopping district and within walking distance of the Acropolis, Old City (Plaka) and most of the citys sights and attractions. The King George Palace was originally built as a small urban palais that served as an annex to the palace, which then occupied the building that houses Greece’s Parliament on the square’s eastern flank. Later, it served briefly as the prime minister’s residence before being acquired by a Greek businessman who added several floors and converted it into a hotel. One of its 1st guests was King George II, who made it his haunt. In the 50s, 60s and 70s, it was also the favourite hotel of international celebrities, magnates, world leaders and movie stars like Aristotle Onassis and Maria Kallas, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Frank Sinatra and Francois Mitterand. |
