Greece: The former Hilton Athens has been repositioned under the luxury Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand, marking its debut in Greece.
The hotel is situated within The Ilisian, a mixed-use destination offering restaurants, bars, resort-style wellness, the Oasis outdoor pool, private residences, and the House of NYNN private members’ club.
Conrad Athens The Ilisian features 278 guest rooms and suites with private balconies. Launching later in 2026, the Omega Penthouse will have a private pool.
Amenities include a wellness zone featuring a heated pool, heat and cold therapy facilities, a gym, and dedicated studios for yoga, pilates, gyrotonic, and spinning. In May, the Odei Wellness Residence will open to provide Ancient Greece-inspired face and body treatments. Later in the year, Dr. Costas Papageorgiou will join the hotel with longevity-focused treatments.
The property’s indoor spaces are designed by AvroKO, which collaborated with Mare Studio, the hotel’s art consultant and curator. The hotel displays pieces by atelier Saridis and ceramicist Eleni Vernadaki.
“Athens is one of those rare cities where history, creativity and contemporary living exist in conversation with one another,” said Dino Michael, senior vice president and global category head, Hilton luxury brands. “For Conrad, that makes it a deeply compelling place to be. Conrad Athens the Ilisian has reawakened a landmark in a way that respects its past while feeling entirely in tune with the city Athens has become.”
Nassos Papazoglou, general manager, Conrad Athens, added: “Hilton Athens opened on this date back in 1963, and for decades played a defining role in Athens’ cultural and social life. Our vision has been to honour that legacy while creating a hotel that feels open, dynamic, and deeply connected to the city today. From the way guests move through the spaces, to how they dine, unwind, and explore Athens, every detail has been designed to offer a genuine sense of belonging.”
