Located at the edge of the Omonia Square, the Classical Acropol is a landmark building with an old world Finesse and modern flair. It is within walking distance of the Acropolis, Plaka, and most of Athens sights and attractions. It was designed by the distinguished Greek architect Emmanuel Vourekas. Marble and hardwood floors, set the tone for the interior?s sleek look, accented by the Le Corbusier and Isamu Noguchi furniture in the lobby and a wall sculpture by Dimitris Pikionis, who designed the Acropolis promenade. <br><br> Organic tones dominate and create a space that belongs to the guests during their stay at the Classical Acropol, in the heart of Athens. One will find each of the 167 rooms charming with its cozy and contemporary comfort. The Pireos 1 Restaurant offers hearty servings of cured meats, fresh fish, and traditional Greek cuisine infused with international influences. The Acropolis theme is echoed in the Elgin Transport Company Bar, decorated with photos of the marble friezes removed from the Parthenon by Lord Elgin. One can drop in at the Lord Elgin Transport Company Bar, take a newspaper off the table and depending on the time, have a coffee, try the daily special, or linger over a malt whisky. |
