 After
a thorough and very expensive renovation that was completed in 2006, the Royal
Olympic has finally reached the standard of its official category and meets the
expectations of its guests. Mosaics, quality statues, original gravures, marble,
wood and bronze all blend harmoniously with each other, creating an impressive
yet warm atmosphere. One of the highlights of the hotel is a copy of the Delphi
bronze charioteer that stands in the foyer of the hotel under a star-lit
ceiling. There are 272 rooms, all comfortably furnished and with many amenities
for the guests’ convenience: private facilities (shower/bathtub and WC) with
full bath amenities, soundproof windows, mini bar, safe box, ISDN lines, direct
dial phone with voice mail, PC outlets, Wi-Fi Internet access, satellite TV with
pay channels and in-house movies, radio, and hairdryer. The majority of the
rooms have view to the well cared interior quadrangle and the pool. There are 45
rooms that offer one of the best views in Athens, the Athenian Panorama rooms,
which offer unobstructed views to the Temple of Zeus (right across the street
from the hotel), Lycabettus Hill and the Acropolis (3rd floor and above). The
hotel also features 11 suites, interconnecting rooms for families, non-smoking
rooms and rooms for guests with disabilities. The hotel is only a short walk
from the Acropolis, Plaka, Constitution square and other major sights of Athens,
thus making it ideal for those who want to explore the city. After a long day of
sightseeing, one can relax at the hotel’s beautifully designed pool while
sipping a drink from the pool bar or the lounge bars, read a book at the hotel’s
cosy library lounge, have a sauna or dine in the restaurant that also has a
wonderful view to the Temple of Zeus. For the business travellers there is a
well-equipped business centre and Wi-Fi access throughout the hotel. A number of
versatile and multifunctional seminar and conference rooms are available. A hair
salon, a beauty parlour, a gym and a shopping arcade are also at in-house
guests’ disposal. Other services: 24-hour room service, laundry, dry cleaning,
concierge and parking.
