Home And Poetry - Neoclassical Boutique Hotel at the Foot of Acropolis

Located in historic Plaka, this 3-star Athens hotel occupies a Neoclassical building 984.3 ft from the Acropolis Museum and Temple of Olympian Zeus. Home And Poetry features eight rooms and suites, each named after famous Greek poets and decorated in modern Neoclassical style. The accommodations include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and private bathrooms with showers. Select suites offer living rooms with fireplaces and skylights, while others feature private external entrances. The property provides 24-hour front desk service, concierge assistance, and complimentary WiFi throughout. A common area serves coffee and tea, and the rooftop garden overlooks the Acropolis. The hotel's position in Plaka places guests on narrow cobblestone streets lined with jewelry shops, local ceramics stores, and traditional restaurants. Home and Poetry stands within 984.3 ft of the Roman Agora, Arch of Hadrian, and Parthenon.

Pros

“Home & Poetry charms with its Plaka location, a stone's throw from the Acropolis; inside, the poetry theme and rooftop breakfast nook create an undeniably romantic mood. While you might hear the city's hum, the hotel's blend of character and thoughtful service makes it, in my opinion, a standout. A truly sweet spot for exploring Athens.”
