Brand new hotel with high end finishes and attention to detail. What makes this hotel 5 star are its staff. Harra, Dinitri and the team provide excellent care for your every need, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is excellent. The location is excellent. There are only 5 rooms so service is very personable. The restaurant is very good. The rooms are well appointed with high quality amenities. I liked the magnolia scented bath products. Highly recommend.

The property was beautiful, so lovely designed, spacious, clean and had every possible facility needed. The breakfast was in their beautiful restaurant and was really delicious. The last day we had to leave really early before breakfast so they brought us breakfast for the road which was so generous. And our luggage got lost at the airport and they were so helpful making sure it got dropped off to us and left it in our room. Felt like a piece of luxury in the heart and centre of Athens. The location was perfect to get everywhere and so convenient and so nicely air conditioned to escape the heat of Athens.

I had the most wonderful stay at the Emerald Hotel in Athens. Tucked away in the heart of the city, this boutique gem perfectly combines charm, comfort, and character. From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality made me feel at home, yet every detail still felt special and thoughtfully curated. The hotel itself is beautifully designed—stylish yet cozy, with unique touches that give it so much personality. My room was spotless, comfortable, and filled with natural light, offering the perfect retreat after exploring Athens. Despite being right in the city center, it felt like a calm oasis where I could truly relax. What really sets the Emerald Hotel apart is the atmosphere. It doesn’t feel like a standard hotel, but more like a secret haven that’s both intimate and welcoming. The location is unbeatable too—just steps from the main attractions, great restaurants, and vibrant neighborhoods.

It's a small boutique hotel so no elevator but they were helpful in moving our bags.

Great new hotel with modern design and very warm and welcoming staff. Great comfortable bed and amazing shower. Also appreciated the welcome drink & to-go breakfast since I had an early flight.

Powerful fragrance even after requesting fragrance-free. Could tone it down a little :) Bar across the street from the suite can be loud and unsightly

Beautiful and unique design. Rooftop with bath felt like an oasis, especially with the fresh rosemary. Staff was welcoming, incredibly friendly and communicative. Would love to stay again :)

Spacious, design and comfortable room in the historical city center. Staff was great in particular Hara, who was an exceptional host. Restaurant linked to the hotel is one of the best in Athens

Loved everything about this beautiful boutique hotel in the best location. Modern, chic decor, fantastic service from Hara on the front desk. Fabulous breakfast offered in a little cafe around the corner.

Couldn’t fault it as a boutique, stylish hotel. With staff who go above and beyond. We arrived on an early morning flight into Athens. They held our luggage and as soon as the room was available they notified us via WhatsApp well before check in time that we could use it.

Great location, beautiful room, friendly super helpful staff. Restaurant connected to the hotel does great coffee and food

Quite slow for breakfast service, but nothing unusual for Athenes (and we didn’t mention we were in a hurry, so that’s on us as well).

Fantastic little hotel in the heart of Athenes. Location is ideal, the staff was very friendly and the amenities are of premium quality. We stayed in the Uranus room, with the private terrasse above that is perfect for morning coffee.

No lift but staff carried our bags upstairs.

Alacarte breakfast as the restaurant attached to the hotel was good.

I liked that it was close to restaurants, shops, and at least 15-20 mins to all the attractions. It was nice that breakfast was offered in a place just around the corner and that they had outdoor/indoor spaces. The building and room was kept very clean. The staff, Hara, Demetri, and others in the restaurant were extremely helpful and kind. I could not have asked for a better staff team for my first time in Athens. They checked in on me often, helped with my luggage given there wasn’t an elevator, and helped coordinate airport transportation. I appreciated their kindness as a solo, female traveler.

We absolutely loved our stay at Emerald Athens Hotel! The staff were super friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. I was a bit nervous about the lack of a lift (as mentioned in some reviews), but they offered to carry our bags up during check-in and back down when we checked out – no issues at all. The hotel is modern and super clean. Our room was tidied and refreshed every day, even when we didn’t expect it. Breakfast was delicious – you can order two dishes from the menu, and the portions are generous! They also gave us a welcome drink at a nearby restaurant, which was a lovely surprise. On our last day, we had to leave early for a ferry and thought we’d miss breakfast, but the staff made us free sandwiches to take with us – such a kind gesture. The location is great – walking distance to major sites and only about 15 minutes to the Acropolis. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Athens. The little details and great service made our stay really special!

The only things to be aware of: the hotel doesn’t have an elevator, so you’ll need to climb a (beautiful but fairly steep) staircase to reach the rooms on the first or second floor. Staff kindly carried our suitcases up at check-in, but not at check-out. Also, there’s no lobby or lounge area outside the rooms, so after checking out, there isn’t really a space to sit and relax – something to note if that’s important to you.

Emerald Hotel Athens exceeded all our expectations and made our trip truly special. It’s a newly opened hotel with beautifully curated design, high-quality furnishings, and an exceptional attention to detail. The rooms have high ceilings, elegant decor, and a sense of quiet luxury that immediately makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and refreshed daily. It was fully equipped with everything we needed: a wardrobe, cozy sitting area, in-room safe, a Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules, free bottled water and snacks, and a minibar with additional drinks and treats available for purchase. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, and the bed was large, supportive yet comfortable – with soft sheets and outstanding memory foam pillows. The bathroom featured plush towels, a wonderful rainfall shower, constant hot water, and premium toiletries. One of the highlights of our stay was the location: right in the center of Athens, within walking distance of every major neighborhood and historical attraction, yet just one street away from the main Ermou pedestrian zone – so we were close to everything, but still enjoyed peace and quiet in the room. Breakfast is served at Yphes, the fantastic restaurant directly below the hotel. The breakfast menu is incredibly diverse, and every dish we tried was beautifully presented and delicious. As part of the hotel’s offering, each guest receives two different dishes from the menu plus coffee or fresh juice – a real treat every morning. The staff were kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful – every request was met quickly and always with a smile. Considering the quality of the hotel, the service, the fantastic location, and the included breakfast at Yphes – the value for money is simply outstanding.

Tiny niggles on a brand new hotel. Not worth putting here as all will be ironed out. The hotel is connected to a restaurant that provides the breakfast (all the same business). There is no elevator if you have heavy luggage or need accessibility.

This boutique hotel was brand new when we stayed in Dec 24. The rooms are exquisite. High ceilings, high end fittings and amazing decor. We stayed in ‘aide’ the name of the room. The manager was extremely attentive and engaging.

This is a very nice place if you want to spend few days in Athens, close to everything, Syndagma, Plaka, Monastiraki, Psiri and of course Acropolis. Rooms are very beautiful and decorated with taste and staff of this small hotel is always there for you.

Overall a wonderful experience in Athens. The rooms are very spacious with a sense of luxury, and the amenities are beyond expectations. Walking distance to many points of interest, concerts, great dinners and posh shopping experience. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and special on our stay. What makes Emerald Athens so special, beyond its unique architecture and style, is its restaurant, which offers modern Greek cuisine paired with a large wine list—sure to satisfy even the most discerning food lovers. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely gorgeous property right in the heart of the city center, offering every modern amenity. Our stay at Emerald Athens exceeded our expectations in every way. The room we stayed in was beautifully appointed, spacious, and equipped with modern touches while still preserving its neoclassical style. The à la carte breakfast was amazing. The dining restaurant and bar were excellent, and all the staff were incredibly friendly. Ideally located near the sites we wished to visit and convenient to all the historic landmarks. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay at Emerald Hotel! The hotel was centrally located and easy to walk to all the major attractions in Athens. Our room was brand new and clean, and we loved using the rooftop tub to cool down after a long day walking around. Finally, the staff was so kind - they arranged airport taxis for us, and prepared delicious to-go sandwiches for us to take in the morning because we had an early flight home. Highly recommend this lovely hotel!
