InterContinental Athens

What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Spire Inner Circle Royal Ambassador

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, as always.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked cheapest advance rate and was upgraded to King Bed Acropolis View.

How are the rooms?
Around 35 sqm large

Seating area
Desk

Comfortable bed

Bathroom with bathtub. Byredo amenities.

View over Acropolis

Pretty old television set. Unfortunately not possible to connect the television set with iPhone. Large selection of International channels.

Kettle and Nespresso coffee machine

How is the exec. lounge?
Unfortunately closed.
Very good breakfast by choice and quality is served at Café Zoé. Very friendly staff..

What was good and what was bad?
GOOD
Very friendly staff: you are welcomed at this hotel like by friends.
First time I had lunch at ArtBistrot, and was pleasantly surprised by quality of food and smiling staff (and liked the outdoor terrace, as Café Zoé at pool area is closed outside breakfast times).

BAD
Non operating Club InterContinental Lounge, I-Spa, Premiere and Cafezoe restaurants, shuttle bus service and in-room minibar (but daily USD 50 credit can be used at ArtBistrot restaurant).

Value for $ or IHG Rewards Points? Would you return?
Yes, for the quality of service and accommodation.
Still Athens needs a Kimpton hotel in a more central area.
Futhermore, it is not acceptable anymore that hotels still not operate services that justify rates.
