Two of the Michelin stars in Athens belong to hotel restaurants, one on a Riviera headland, the other seven floors above Syntagma Square. Athens does hotel dining unusually well, partly because its grand hotels sit on the best addresses in the city: the square under the Acropolis and the beaches of the Athenian Riviera. The result is a short, strong list where a star, a rooftop and a sea view are all in play. Here are six restaurants inside Athens hotels worth booking, what each does best, and which to skip. Ranked on the kitchen first, the address second.
1.Pelagos
The Four Seasons' one-star seafood room on the Athenian Riviera. Book it for a refined Mediterranean tasting by the sea.
Pelagos is the fine-dining room of the Four Seasons Astir Palace in Vouliagmeni, on the Athenian Riviera, where chef Luca Piscazzi cooks a Mediterranean, seafood-led menu that has held a Michelin star since 2021. The Pelagos on Tour tasting runs six courses at €145, with pairings on top, served in a room that opens to the gardens and the sea below. This is the most polished hotel kitchen near Athens, and the Riviera setting makes it a destination rather than a stopover. This is the booking for a long, refined seafood dinner away from the city centre. Reserve two to three weeks ahead.
Book through the Four Seasons; take the on-tour tasting with the pairing.
2.Tudor Hall
A one-star Greek tasting menu seven floors above Syntagma, level with the Acropolis. Book it for the view-and-kitchen pairing.
Tudor Hall crowns the King George, a Luxury Collection hotel on Syntagma Square, from the seventh floor, with a dining room and terrace that look straight across to the floodlit Parthenon. Chef Nikos Livadias cooks a contemporary Greek degustation at €145 that earned a Michelin star in the 2024 guide and has kept it since. Of the city-centre hotel rooms this is the one with both a star and the view, which is why it ranks above the grander terraces nearby. This is the booking for a milestone dinner with the Acropolis in the window. Reserve two to three weeks ahead for a terrace table.
Book on the Tudor Hall site; request a terrace table facing the Acropolis.
3.GB Roof Garden
The Grande Bretagne's eighth-floor terrace with the widest view in town. Book it for the panorama and a grill that delivers.
GB Roof Garden tops the Hotel Grande Bretagne, the 1874 landmark on Syntagma and the grande dame of Athens hotels, from the eighth floor, with a terrace that sweeps from the Acropolis to Lycabettus and Parliament. Executive chef Asterios Koustoudis runs a Mediterranean menu led by the grill, charcoal octopus at €31, beef tenderloin at €49, and the room is Michelin-recommended with a Wine Spectator-awarded list. This is the booking for a celebration where the hotel setting and the view matter as much as the plate. Reserve two weeks ahead for a sunset table.
Book through the Grande Bretagne; arrive for sunset and start with the octopus.
4.Ergon House Athens
An all-day market-to-table room inside a food-led design hotel. Book it for produce-driven Greek cooking off the in-house agora.
Ergon House on Mitropoleos Street, between Syntagma and Plaka, is a food-led design hotel built around an in-house agora, a Greek market, and its all-day restaurant cooks straight off those shelves. Chef Panagiotis Xanthis runs a produce-driven Greek menu from morning to midnight, with a rooftop bar above it, in a room listed in the Michelin Guide's hotel selection. This is a more relaxed, all-day kind of hotel dining than the starred rooms, closer to a very good market kitchen than a tasting-menu occasion. This is the booking for a long lunch or an easy dinner built on the day's produce. Reserve ahead on weekends.
Book through Ergon House; come for a market-driven lunch or an early dinner.
5.Electra Roof Garden
The Electra Palace's Plaka rooftop, pool and a clean Acropolis view. Book it for a relaxed dinner under the lit rock.
Electra Roof Garden tops the Electra Palace Athens in Plaka, an eighth-floor terrace with a swimming pool and a direct line to the floodlit Acropolis a few hundred metres off. Chef Petros Vasileiou cooks a Mediterranean menu, and the hotel completed a phased refurbishment in spring 2026. The room runs late, which makes it as much a drinks terrace as a dinner one, and the Plaka location puts you in the old town below the rock. This is the booking for an easy, view-led evening rather than a destination kitchen. Reserve a few days ahead for a table on the Acropolis side.
Book through the Electra Palace; ask for a terrace table on the Acropolis side.
6.Metropolis Roof Garden
A tenth-floor Syntagma terrace with a head-on Acropolis view. Book it for a rooftop dinner above the city centre.
Metropolis Roof Garden crowns the Electra Metropolis Athens on Syntagma, not to be confused with its sister, the Electra Palace in Plaka, from the tenth floor, one of the higher central terraces, with a head-on view of the Acropolis across the rooftops. Chef Haris Zefgoulis cooks a Mediterranean menu on the terrace beside the rooftop pool. There is no Michelin star; the draw is the height and the view from a central Syntagma address. This is the booking for a rooftop dinner in the middle of the city with the rock in front of you. Reserve a few days ahead and ask for a table on the rail.
Book through the Electra Metropolis; ask for a rail table facing the Acropolis.
Not for a hotel dinner
A star, but not in a hotel
Delta at the Niarchos Centre and Spondi in Pangrati are the benchmark Athens kitchens, but neither is a hotel restaurant: Delta sits in a cultural centre, Spondi in a Pangrati townhouse. Hytra, likewise, is inside the Onassis Stegi, a cultural centre, not a hotel.
A hotel, but not for dinner
Several Athens hotels run a rooftop that is really a bar with a short menu rather than a kitchen. If you want a drink and the view, those are fine; for dinner in a hotel, take one of the rooms above where the kitchen is the point.
How to pick an Athens hotel restaurant
Choose between the Riviera and the centre. Pelagos at the Four Seasons Astir is the destination, a one-star seafood room by the sea, twenty-odd minutes south of the city. In the centre, Tudor Hall is the one room with both a star and the Acropolis view, while GB Roof Garden, Electra and Metropolis trade the star for a bigger terrace and a panorama. For the starred rooms, book two to three weeks ahead.
Match the room to the night. For a milestone, Pelagos or Tudor Hall; for a view-led celebration, GB Roof Garden; for an easy, produce-driven meal, Ergon House. Most of these terraces are best from spring to autumn, so confirm open-air seating in winter, and say if you are marking an occasion when you book.
Frequently asked
Which Athens hotel restaurant has a Michelin star?
Two hotel restaurants in Athens hold a Michelin star in the current guide: Pelagos at the Four Seasons Astir Palace in Vouliagmeni, chef Luca Piscazzi's one-star seafood room on the Riviera, and Tudor Hall on the seventh floor of the King George Hotel on Syntagma, where chef Nikos Livadias cooks a €145 Greek tasting menu. Both reward booking two to three weeks ahead.
What is the best hotel restaurant in central Athens?
In the city centre, Tudor Hall on the seventh floor of the King George Hotel is the strongest, pairing a Michelin star with a terrace level with the Acropolis. GB Roof Garden at the Hotel Grande Bretagne next door offers the widest rooftop view with a grill-led Mediterranean menu, and Ergon House gives a more relaxed, market-driven meal. All three sit on or beside Syntagma Square.
Which Athens hotel has the best rooftop restaurant?
For a rooftop with a serious kitchen, GB Roof Garden on the eighth floor of the Hotel Grande Bretagne leads, with an Acropolis-to-Lycabettus sweep and a grill-led menu. Tudor Hall at the King George is the one rooftop with a Michelin star, and the Electra Palace and Electra Metropolis in Plaka and Syntagma both run terraces with direct Acropolis views from their upper floors.
Do you need to be a hotel guest to eat at these Athens restaurants?
No. Every restaurant on this list welcomes outside diners, and most guests at the rooftop and starred rooms are not hotel residents. Book directly through the restaurant or the hotel's dining page rather than a room reservation. For Pelagos and Tudor Hall, the two starred rooms, reserve two to three weeks ahead, and ask for a terrace or sea-facing table when you book.
How much does dinner cost at an Athens hotel restaurant?
The starred rooms run €145 for the tasting menus at both Pelagos and Tudor Hall, with pairings on top. A la carte at GB Roof Garden lands around €31 for octopus and €49 for beef tenderloin, while Ergon House, Electra Roof Garden and Metropolis Roof Garden are more moderate. Wine and drinks are extra, so set a budget when you reserve.
