The choice of hotel in Athens reflects the kind of visit the visitor is paying to the city. Travellers on their own generally prefer a hotel in the city centre (Syntagma, Plaka, Columns of Olympian Zeus, Makrygianni) or around the perimeter of the core traffic zone (Syngrou, Alexandras, Michalakopoulou Ave.), so as to be near the most important sites. Within this area there are hotels for every purse: from luxury to conventional to tiny guesthouses (mostly in the Plaka district). Tour groups usually prefer the large hotels in Syngrou Ave. and on the outskirts of the city centre. Business travellers generally stay in these places as well, since it is the large luxury hotels that have the facilities they demand (most now have executive floors with special services) and that invest in conference tourism, providing meeting rooms with ultramodern technical equipment.

Those who come to Athens on business for longer periods of time prefer the luxury service apartments, found both in the centre and in the northern and southern suburbs. The new airport and the Attiki Odos generated a need for hotels near those areas. Finally, the seaside hotels attract those who want to combine easy access to the city and the airport with a few days holiday by the sea.
