Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens

The American design brand’s first Greek hotel, close to Glyfada’s best beaches and a short ride from the city. A big pool and swim club, yoga and events give it a younger, livelier mood than the traditional Riviera resorts.

The American design brand’s first Greek hotel, close to Glyfada’s best beaches and a short ride from the city. A big pool and swim club, yoga and events give it a younger, livelier mood than the traditional Riviera resorts. Glyfada is the liveliest town on the Athens Riviera, about 17 km south of the centre, with smart shopping streets, marinas, beach clubs and seafront cafés, and the coastal tram runs here from the city. The coastal tram and buses connect the Riviera with the centre, and a taxi from Syntagma takes about half an hour outside rush hour.
