With a spectacular view overlooking the Acropolis, the Athens Ledra Marriott is just minutes from a visit to Plaka, Piraeus Port and the New Acropolis museum using their free hotel shuttle.

It is easy to explore the winding streets of Plaka and see the city’s famous cafes and shops, or just relax with a Greek coffee and watch the Athenians passing by like a Greek play.

The Athens Ledra Marriott hotel offers easy access to the port of Piraeus to discover the many well-known local Greek islets, sitting in a location that combines the famous elements of Greece; culture, beaches and the islands.

The Marriott bedding and their 34sq m spacious rooms will make sure that every guest feels comfortable and ready to discover the beauty of Greece but for extra luxury, visitors might want to try the Executive Floor, which offers the full xenia feeling. Xenia is the Greek concept of hospitality, or generosity and courtesy shown to those who are far from home. The personal touch of the hostess and the comfortable lounge with breakfast and evening drinks will give you a full xenia stay.
