The Crowne Plaza has already earned an outstanding reputation in organizing events and congresses, despite being a very young, new property in Athens. There are 14 high-tech spaces for events and meetings on different levels of the hotel offering a robust bouquet of choices, setups and facilities. Sunny rooms are perfect for daytime business events while the large ballroom with separate outside access is ideal for celebrations. Different color schemes and the latest high-tech audiovisual equipment support the creation of sensational events. Best of all, professional catering and service are provided for pre-function and post-function cocktails, as well as rich coffee breaks where and when needed. All necessary amenities such as flip chart, screen, DVD player and sound system are available. The award-winning hotel lies strategically in the central Athens suburb of Ilissia, named after its hidden historic river, only a 20-minute leisurely walk from the happening heart of the capital, Syntagma Square. Yet to call the Crowne Plaza simply a city hotel falls short of its true description. The property is a hub for discovering the vibrancy of Athens in a new light. It is as much a high-tech business hotel as it is a destination for leisure, shopping and nightlife. This is one of the newest hotels in the city, boasting sophisticated facilities and surprising gourmet flair that conspire to guarantee spectacular Greek hospitality with first-class western standards.
