Bottom Line
The 374-room Athens Marriott is a four-pearl, modern block-size hotel off Syggrou highway in the southern suburb of Nea Smirni. The hotel has a rooftop pool, spa, business center, and draws a mix of business travelers and tour groups. Rooms are modern, and include free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Located 10 to 15 minutes from the city center and its historical attractions, the Marriott is not a convenient choice for tourists wanting to be within walking or metro distance of the major sights, but the hotel does operate a regular daytime shuttle service to and from Syntagma Square.
