Divani Caravel in Athens offers four named conference rooms for up to 1,000 guests, plus a renovated Macedonia floor of about 1,300 square meters. The hotel stands on Vassileos Alexandrou Avenue, a few minutes from Syntagma Square and close to the Kolonaki district.
Seminars and company events
Divani Caravel belongs to the Divani Collection Hotels, whose events page lists 16 multi-function venues across its Athens hotels and about 4,300 square meters of conference space. A dedicated event manager follows each event from the first request to its end, and the hotel adapts rooms and technology to the brief.
The Olympia Convention Center is the flagship room, recently renovated. Vergina and Ilissos suit mid-size seminars. Ilissos is presented as a setting for focused business meetings. The Macedonia floor has been renovated and offers seven additional spaces, which helps when a plenary needs breakout rooms close by.
Weddings and receptions
The pages we read do not describe a wedding offer. The hotel does list cocktail and banquet layouts for its large rooms, and the events page speaks of corporate and personal events. Couples should ask the hotel directly whether a wedding can be arranged.

Accommodation
The hotel has rooms and suites, and the number of bedrooms is not given on the pages we read. Ask the hotel for the room block available for your dates. Guests also have the Peak Health Club & Spa on the top floor and a fitness center with Technogym equipment.
Catering
The hotel offers three places to eat and drink: JuJu Bar Restaurant, set in an Art Deco room that opens as a rooftop in summer, Fyllopolis, an all-day restaurant, and the Thea poolside bar on the rooftop. For events, the Divani chefs prepare bespoke menus agreed with the event manager.
History and setting
Divani Caravel is part of the group that has operated hotels in Greece since 1958. It sits in the center of Athens, a short walk from Kolonaki and within walking distance of the main sights, which suits delegates who want free time between sessions.
Getting there
The hotel is a few minutes on foot from Syntagma Square, where the metro network connects to the rest of the city. The site does not give distances to the airport or a metro station, so organisers should confirm the route for groups.
