This
is one of the latest additions in the Athenian hotel scene, and definitely an
impressive one. The Athenian Callirhoe (former Christina) opened again (07/02)
after a very thorough renovation.
There
are 72 standard rooms (in 5 floors, one of which is exclusively non-smoking), 9
executive rooms and 3 suites (on the top floor), all featuring many amenities:
electronic key card locks, en suite bathroom with bathtub (small in size in the
single rooms) and shower facilities, hairdryer, magnifying mirror, telephone,
and complimentary toiletries, direct dial phone with ISDN lines (for Internet
access), individually controlled A/C, satellite TV (with cable channels, pay TV
programs, and Internet access through the use of wireless keyboards available at
the reception), safe deposit box (laptop size), mini-bar, and double glazed
windows that minimize the city noise. Most rooms have a balcony but some
(including all single rooms) have only a window. The executive rooms also
feature a Jacuzzi tub and complimentary slippers, whereas the suite is the
largest room, with a small sitting area and a dining table, which can also serve
the needs of a business meeting.
Public areas: reception (operating 24-hours), a la Carte restaurant where full
American buffet breakfast is served in the morning, bar, roof garden restaurant
with panoramic view, fitness club (including gym, sauna and hydro massage),
meeting room, and 3 conference halls (with state of the art technological
equipment). Other services: laundry service, 24-hour room service, and valet
parking. Great emphasis has been placed on the decoration of the hotel, which is
of high quality, great style (Italian design furnishing), and with an eye for
the details that make one’s stay more comfortable and special. Overall, an
excellent city hotel, ideal for both the business and leisure traveller,
offering easy access to the sites and the commercial center (100m from the
metro, 15 minutes on foot to the Acropolis). |
