When you are traveling to Athens, you want to stay in the heart of the city and the Athens Capital Center Hotel is right in the middle of the action.

The luxury, five-star property blends an art-deco style with modern amenities. The property sits in Athens Kolonaki district and is centrally located on the city's "Champs Elysee," filled with luxury shops and historic sites, including the Old Royal Palace. It's just steps from the hourly changing of the guards at the Hellenic Parliament building and a two-minute walk to the Syntagma metro hub.

The property is an easy walk (10 minutes) to the historic Plaka neighborhood and the nightlife and bars in Psiri.

While the city of Athens bustles all around the hotel, the property offers sanctuary from the hustle of city life with a beautiful rooftop pool that offers sweeping city views set against the backdrop of the Acropolis.

Guests can enjoy poolside drinks or dine at the rooftop restaurant, Mappemonde, which is open daily for lunch, dinner and drinks. In fact, guests should plan to stay in for one night at least to enjoy the evening views and sunset from the property. The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., daily.

The rooftop pool is a highlight with views of the city and the Acropolis.

The hotel also offers Galerie Cafe, located in the lobby for cocktails, coffees and snacks. It serves as the perfect meeting point for guests. MFlavours restaurant on the 9th floor offers a lovely breakfast spread with global favorites and features Mediterranean cuisine during lunch and dinner concocted in its open kitchen.

Guestrooms are a nice size and feature city views or courtyard views with contemporary furnishings, cozy king- or queen-size beds and bathrooms with rain showers and plenty of amenities. An electronic blackout curtain is ideal for guests trying to adjust to the time change and overcome jet lag or for those who just want to catch up on some sleep midday.

For groups, the Athens Capital Center Hotel offers four meeting rooms with seating for 132 and 60 for banquets.
