The AVA Hotel, Apartments & Suites underwent a major renovation in July 2004. Its outstanding neo-classic Greek architecture blends perfectly with the tranquil and exclusive district of Plaka and its surroundings. The hotel was built with flavour and flair for the discerning visitor to Athens, offering all the amenities, comfort and services of a deluxe hotel, plus the exclusiveness and privacy of a private home. Hotel AVA is located in the Plaka area area of Athens, one of the city's most exclusive districts, just below the Acropolis and only a few steps from the Parthenon, the Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the other exquisite monuments of Greek civilization. Only minutes away are the Greek Parliament, Old Olympic Stadium, National Gardens and Athens' top shopping areas. Popular with business and leisure travellers seeking personalized care and 'home away from home' qualities, AVA Hotel guarantees a comfortable stay in a private and discreet environment. Being self contained, all apartments and suites are ideal for pleasant short or long stays in Athens. Note: All public areas, AVA Suites and most Regular and Executive Apartments are non-smoking. Smoking rooms must be requested at the time of reservation due to limited availability.
