Hotel Description
A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, the King George Palace combines the grace and stature of a historic landmark with ultra-modern amenities and personal service that puts guests' comfort above all else - right down to a personal trainer in the state-of-the-art health club, exclusively for hotel guests.
Located on Syntagma Square, the King George Palace was originally built as a small urban palais that served as an annex to the Palace, which then occupied the building that houses Greece's Parliament on the square's eastern flank. Later, it served briefly as the prime minister's residence before being acquired by a Greek businessman who added several floors and converted it into a hotel. One of its first guests was King George II, who made it his haunt. In the Fifties, Sixties, and Seventies, it was also the favourite hotel of international celebrities, magnates, world leaders, and movie stars like Aristotle Onassis and Maria Kallas, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Frank Sinatra, and Fran�ois Mitterrand.
A ground floor-to-penthouse renovation has restored the King George Palace's original glamour. Advanced technology has also ensured a completely controlled environment: fully sound-proofed rooms, adjustable lighting calibrated to complement natural light, advanced climate control and ventilation, and, of course, fast internet connections.
