I wish that some of the other lounges have been opened. I understand that it may be a seasonal thing for areas like the rooftop Terrace Etc. But it would have been nice to experience that particular area of the hotel.

Dear Juan, Thank you for staying at the Athenaeum InterContinental Athens and for taking the time to write about your experience. Guest satisfaction is what we strive for and we are sorry for the disappointment you experienced due to our rooftop bar and restaurant being closed during your stay. May we take this opportunity to advise you that our Premiere does not operate for the week leading to Orthodox Easter. We thank you again for your review and hope to have the chance to welcome you back to our hotel on a future visit to Athens. Yours sincerely, Martha Pallis Guest Relations Manager

The Intercontinental is always a nice property.

Pros: The Intercontinental is always a nice property.
Cons: Updated furniture in room....more contemporary. The bed was super soft (a little too soft).
Location: The location is on the outskirts of all the sightseeing destinations. You have to take a cab, as walking is too far.
The Athens location is a little bit of a journey from the Plaka and the Acropolis by cab.
