After significant transformation, the beloved Hilton Athens is now the Conrad Athens The Ilisian, bringing new life to one of Athen’s most iconic landmarks and emerging as a contemporary urban resort.

The property brings Conrad Hotels & Resorts’ signature blend of bold design, contemporary luxury and immersive connection to the cultural heart of Athens. Carrying forward the spirit of a building deeply woven into the city’s social and cultural fabric, the hotel evokes the feeling of an open-air gallery, with original sculpted marble façades by the pioneering Greek artist Yannis Moralis. Inside, AvroKO interiors revive the optimism of Athens’ modernist golden era with preserved mid-century elements and art pieces by historic atelier Saridis and ceramicist Eleni Vernadaki.

The 278 guestrooms and suites are among the city’s most spacious, with the majority featuring private balconies before some of the city’s best views. The hotel also offers Athens’ largest suite collection, including three Presidential Suites, a Royal Suite, and the upcoming Omega Penthouse, which will come complete with a private pool and panoramic vistas across the Acropolis and Aegean Sea.

Designed as a mixed-use destination with a vibrant lineup of restaurants and bars, the largest outdoor pool landscape in the city, private residences and a private members’ club, the Conrad Athens The Ilisian also offers curated insider-led experiences. From golden-hour aperitifs overlooking the Acropolis to five-hour deep-dives into the city’s culinary and creative scenes, each experience is tailored to personal interests, making travel all the more meaningful and distinctly local.
