Conrad Athens The Ilisian has officially opened its doors, marking the debut of Conrad Hotels & Resorts in Greece. Formerly known as Hilton Athens, the property has undergone a significant transformation into a contemporary urban resort located in the cultural heart of Athens. The hotel features 278 guestrooms and suites, making it one of the most spacious accommodations in the city, and is part of The Ilisian, a new mixed-use destination.
The hotel offers a vibrant culinary scene with nine distinct dining concepts, led by Executive Chef Angelos Lantos, the first Greek chef to earn two Michelin stars in Athens. Among the highlights is Byzantino, Athens' first Grande Brasserie, which combines French and Greek classics. The hotel also plans to reopen the iconic Galaxy Bar as Galaxy Dispensary and Galaxy Supper Club later this year.
Wellness is a key focus at Conrad Athens The Ilisian, with facilities including Athens' largest outdoor pool, a private running track, and various wellness zones offering yoga, Pilates, and more. The Odei Wellness Residence will introduce treatments inspired by ancient Greek rituals.
The hotel also offers the Conrad 1/3/5 experiences, allowing guests to explore Athens through curated activities, from architectural walks to culinary tours. Simon Vincent, president of Hilton Europe, Middle East, and Africa, highlighted Greece's growing tourism market, stating, "The opening of Conrad Athens The Ilisian underscores our long-term commitment to Athens and Greece as a leading global tourism destination."
