108 | A hotel with attitude: sassy, smart, and stylish, from its Art Deco window front and wrought-iron railings to the original pop-art in the lobby, ultra-modern ceramic bedside lamps, and suites with a view to the city lights. Travelers from the corners of the world meet here to work, explore, unwind and rediscover the downtown of Athens. An impressive building on Omonia Square, the hotel is the heart of the city's business district, the City Hall, and Psirri's trendy bars and art galleries. Its Framing sweeping views of central Athens, Classical Grand O's 115 guestrooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows, funky shades of lilac and green, luxe bedding, roomy corduroy club chairs, and a unique feeling of home away from home. Indulge into those added touches for which Classical Hotels are famous: coffeemakers and gourmet coffee blends, luxurious toiletries, stereo CD players, cordless phones, and soft terrycloth bathrobes. ''The Omonia Times'', the all-day restaurant located on the first floor, has the same hip ambience, delicious menu - and a front row seat on the bustling city beyond. Anchored at the corner of Omonia square, in walking distance from the Stock exchange, ''La Cafeteria'' with subdued charm, suddenly became a cocktail-hour hot spot for the new Athenian yuppies. Ideally located on the Omonia Square, Classical Acropol is in the heart of the business, shopping, restaurant and theatre district. It is within walking distance from the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodus Atticus, the Ancient Market, the Pnyx, the National Archaeological Museum, and the oldest district of Athens, the Plaka, characterized by monuments of all periods, as well as Psirri area, the hub of the Athenian life.Restaurants, cafés, bars and ouzeries (bars serving meze/appertizers and ouzo, plus beer and wine) line the streets between Ermou Street, Athinas Street and Monastiraki.
A variety of music clubs cater to all tastes - from Latin grooves to Greekrock to traditional Rembetika music. In summer, there are live outdoor concerts and performing arts events in Herod Atticus Theatre and on Lycabettus Hill. The Megaro Concert Hall is the city's leading performing arts centre with regular classical concerts, theatres and opera performances
from touring international companies. Shopping in downtown Athens (the Commercial Triangle as called by the locals) is an experience with big and small shops and boutiques clustered around and along Ermou Street - the capital's ever popular downtown walkway, sophisticated Stadiou Street (we recommend the largest department store in the centre of Athens, CityLink), classy Voukourestiou Street, traditional Pandrossou walkway and elegant Mitropoleos Street. You will find anything,from small decorative items at bargain rices to well-known designer creations. Plaka and Monastiraki remain
open until late in the evening as well as all day Sunday. Rooms:115 |
