St George Lycabettus Lifestyle Hotel (Athens, Greece)

The Saint George Lycabettus hotel offers guests a great location combined with plenty of great hotel amenities for them to enjoy when not exploring the Athens attractions. Guests can cool off in the rooftop pool or enjoy a light meal or cocktail in the top floor restaurant, both offering unrivalled views of the city. Additional amenities includes a spa, fully-equipped gym and a sauna.

The hotel is located near the heart of Athens in the trendy Kolonaki district and is close to dozens of the city’s most desirable shops, tourist attractions, bars and restaurants.

One of the most unique features of this hotel is the built-in art gallery where new exhibitions are held each week. This gives guests a great opportunity to explore local art and culture without even having to leave the hotel.

While the hotel offers one of the most convenient locations in the city for accommodation, most rooms feature somewhat dated furnishings and décor. This may not be to everyone’s tastes while others will be able to overlook it thanks to the prime location of the property.

Surprisingly, the hotel’s rooftop pool is open to the public which can become a problem for guests staying at the hotel. The pool area can very easily become overcrowded and the limited number of deck chairs fully occupied by non-hotel guests.

The en-suite bathroom facilities fall slightly short in terms of providing guests with adequate to hang clothes or towels and can be an inconvenient detail that should be addressed. In addition, the hotel does not provide guests with complimentary bathrobes or slippers, a nice touch that could make all the difference to the overall experience.
