Dining for business and pleasure
For decades, the Hilton Athens has been a favorite meeting spot for a business lunch or an after-hours cocktail. Since the hotel’s renovation in 2004, the top floor hosts the Galaxy BBQ in addition to the Galaxy Bar.
The idea of a BBQ is a smart one, keeping the preparation simple and providing a casual dining environment for spring, summer and autumn evenings. With superb views of the Athens Acropolis and the Athens skyline, guests at the Galaxy can unwind with a cocktail while the staff grills a juicy steak or some fresh seafood. Combined with a seasonal salad, this is Athens summer dining al fresco with one of the best views in the Greek capital.
The crowd at the upper floor is upper crust and the atmosphere is a perfect escape from city traffic and heat. The minimalist decor, with decking and marble pillars, adds to the relaxation factor. Finishing up with a post-prandial drink in the bar on plush sofas is a welcome detour before heading descending to street level.
Likewise, guests may choose a lighter alternative and linger over oriental finger food and a glass of wine at the bar while taking in the views of the city. Either way, the top of the Hilton is a welcome respite from summer in the city, and a perfect place to take a guest to talk business.
