Map & location


Glyfada (Athens Coast), Greece

Glyfada is the Athens Riviera at its most polished – palm-lined promenades, sleek beach clubs and designer boutiques. Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens sits in the heart of it all, yet a short stroll still finds quiet corners by the sea. Hop on the coastal tram into central Athens for the Acropolis, Plaka and museums, then retreat to the pool terrace for sunset cocktails when you’re done sightseeing.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The heart of Ace Hotel & Swim Club Athens is its sculpted outdoor freshwater infinity pool, edged by low-slung loungers, parasols and a whirlpool corner for longer soaks. Pool towels are complimentary and the pool bar is just steps away, so it’s easy to drift between swims and sundowners.

When you’re ready for the sea, a short walk brings you to Glyfada’s public shingle beaches and chilled beach bars, with private beach clubs and adults-focused seafront pools like Balux Seaside and Astir Beach an easy taxi ride away (local charges apply).

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness comes courtesy of an air-conditioned gym that’s open from 07:00–22:00, with cardio equipment, free weights and a stretching zone for a quick workout before breakfast or a sunset session.

Elsewhere, you’ll find a handy on-site mini-market for snacks and essentials, while the concierge team can help with restaurant reservations, beach club suggestions and getting into central Athens. Occasional live DJs and music nights add atmosphere without overwhelming the hotel’s relaxed feel. (Facilities and entertainment are subject to seasonal changes.)
