The Best Hotels in Kifissia, Athens

Some people claim Kifissia is Athens's Beverly Hills, and you wouldn't be surprised to bump into Kim Kardashian shopping in its chic boutiques. Fashionistas and couples looking for a romantic break within easy reach of the sights of Athens but away from city bustle love this upmarket neighbourhood, and the best places to stay in Kifissia can be found along its cool, tree-lined avenues.

The arrival of the first steam train in 1885 made this leafy oasis on the lower slopes of Mt. Pendeli a fashionable, cool escape from the summer heat for wealthy Athenians, who built palatial, quirky mansions and villas here. The neighbourhood boasts more than 100 splendidly preserved historic buildings dating from the 19th and early 20th century – at least one of which is now a fine hotel. Lovely parks are delightful places to stroll in summer, and upscale art spaces add a whiff of culture. For lovers of smart café life, high-society, people-watching and ab-fab lifestyle, the only way to go is Kifissia - it's chic, it's chichi - yet it's still very Athens!
