President Hotel hosts conferences, corporate meetings, weddings and social events for up to 500 guests in its largest room, across six main meeting rooms on Kifisias Avenue in Athens. The 4-star tower adds a rooftop pool and restaurant on the 21st floor and sits about 700 meters from Panormou metro station.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents seven event venues with modern technology for conferences and corporate meetings. Atlas, the largest, takes 500 people for a plenary, a product launch or a gala dinner. Europa, with two sections of 180 and 132 square meters, takes 350, and Palms takes 300, so a congress can run a plenary and parallel sessions in the same building. Cosmos, Mezzo and Orion take 60, 35 and 20 for workshops, committees and board meetings. With bedrooms, restaurants and parking under one roof, delegates can stay on site for multi-day programs and avoid transfers across the city.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel lists weddings and social events among the uses of its event rooms. Atlas and Palms suit larger receptions, while the rooftop restaurant Penthouse 21 offers a setting with 360-degree views over the city for smaller gatherings.
Rooms and capacities
Atlas covers 396 square meters and takes 500. Europa, 180 and 132 square meters, takes 350. Palms covers 226 square meters for 300. Cosmos, 97 square meters, takes 60; Mezzo, 65 square meters, takes 35; Orion, 57 square meters, takes 20. The hotel gives one figure per room, without a breakdown by layout, so seating plans for theatre, classroom or banquet should be confirmed with the events team.
Accommodation
Guest rooms run from 20 to 28 square meters, in Classic single, double and triple versions, Classic Panoramic rooms and Deluxe doubles. The rooms have been fully renovated. The rooftop pool on the 21st floor is reserved for hotel guests, and the hotel has a private car park, also recently renovated.
Catering
Breakfast is served as a buffet every morning. Avenue Bistro is an all-day restaurant with Mediterranean cooking, open from 9 a.m. to midnight. Penthouse 21, the rooftop pool bar and restaurant, opens from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. with views across Athens.
History and setting
The President has been part of the Athens skyline since the late 1970s. The architect Ioannis Vikelas designed the tower in a cubist manner. It stands on Kifisias Avenue, between the Panormou and Ampelokipoi districts, a short distance from the historic center.
Getting there
The address is Kifisias 43, 115 23 Athens. Panormou metro station is about 700 meters away and Ampelokipoi about 750 meters, three stops from Syntagma Square. Athens International Airport is about 27 kilometers away, which keeps transfers short for international delegates.
