Our favourite rooms
Setting the mood comes easy in the Seventies-inspired rooms at Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens: a turntable with a stack of vinyls is on hand in some bedrooms for amping up the romance; a selection of rooms also has a D’Angelico acoustic guitar if you’d rather do the serenading yourself. You can sing from the rooftops — or rather, the balcony — in the Deluxe rooms, which have soul-stirring views over the sea, pool or city. Up the hotel’s sleeve is the Ace Suite, a mid-century-nodding crashpad that’s kitted out with its own bar and kitchen.
Poolside
Expectations for the pool are set high with ‘swim club’ in the hotel’s name, but Ace Hotel dutifully delivers, and then some. The retro-chic main pool will soothe your sweet tooth with its lemon-meringue-pie-shaded parasols and pistachio-green sunloungers; spells in the Jacuzzi by the bar are just as palatable. It’s open for leisurely dips or athletic lengths from 10am to 8pm. A rooftop pool is set to open in spring 2025.
Packing tips
A capo and pick to fine-tune your riffing; lean into the vintage vibe by the pool with a floral swim cap and outré Sixties-style swimwear.
Also
This riviera retreat has some serious design credentials: architects Ciguë helmed the hotel’s overhaul; Salma Barakat created custom bedspreads and Athenian brand Back to the Future supplied vintage furnishings.
