The Pinnacle Athens
Urban eclectic boutique. Think antique English teapots sitting next to contemporary installations, velvet curtains in soft tones, vintage wallpapers, and decorative fireplaces in every suite. The building is Seventies Modernist outside; the interiors are a layered mix of old and new that the hotel calls 'classic-with-a-twist.'

Why It Matters
Listed in both the Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels. Occupies the tallest building in Athens' historic Commercial Triangle, giving guests high-angle views that are genuinely unusual for the city. The art collection is treated as a living project — works change regularly, so repeat visitors see something new. Awarded Best Suite of the Year, Boutique Hotel of the Year 2021, Best City Hotel 2021, and Urban Luxury Accommodation of the Year.
The Pinnacle Athens is what happens when someone turns Athens' tallest building in the Commercial Triangle into a 16-suite boutique hotel. The tower was designed in the late 1970s by architect Varangis in an Athenian Modernist style, its facade clad in over 3,500 metallic tiles that make it look like a mini skyscraper dropped into a city of low-rise neoclassicals. Inside, the design concept is deliberately restless: over 350 artworks rotate through the stairwells and common areas, and no two suites look alike. The Roof Garden on top delivers a 360-degree panorama of the Acropolis, Lycabettus Hill, Plaka, and the Athens National Observatory that's genuinely hard to match anywhere in the city.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Classic Double Room
The entry-level option — compact at 20sqm but styled with the same care as the rest of the hotel. One king bed, a walk-in hydromassage shower, mini fridge, blackout curtains and soundproofed windows. No kitchenette or living room at this level. Fine for two nights but will feel snug on a longer stay.
King · 20 sqm
Deluxe Suite
Same 45sqm footprint as the Family Suite but configured differently with two king bedrooms (one can be twin beds), two hydromassage bathrooms, a living room with decorative fireplace, dining area, kitchenette, and an office/boudoir. The Smart Plasma TV is a 32-inch set. Sleeps up to 6 with the double sofa bed.
King · 45 sqm
Family Suite
Two king bedrooms, two hydromassage bathrooms, a single sofa bed, living room, dining area, and a full kitchenette in 45sqm. Designed to work properly for families — the two separate bedrooms give parents real privacy. Soundproofed windows and decorative fireplace across both layouts.
King · 45 sqmSuperior Suite
Steps up significantly from the Classic Double. At 30sqm you get a separate living room, decorative fireplace, kitchenette (ceramic hobs, fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee maker), office/boudoir space, and a sofa bed that sleeps two more guests. One hydromassage walk-in shower. The floor-to-ceiling windows frame city views across the Athenian rooftops.
King · 30 sqm
The Penthouse
The top pick, widely cited as the hotel's best. On the 7th floor with 60sqm across two king bedrooms, two hydromassage shower bathrooms, a proper kitchen (not just a kitchenette — includes ceramic hobs, microwave, fridge, kettle, cookware), a living room with decorative fireplace, dining area, and office/boudoir. The floor-to-ceiling windows at this height deliver unobstructed Acropolis and Lycabettus views. Sleeps up to 6.
