If you are planning to visit Athens in the summer months, be advised that the temperatures soar! That is why finding an Athens hotel pool day pass is vital!

Luckily for you, I have found several hotels that let you purchase a day pass to use the pool on a hot summer day!

In this post, we will go over the Athens hotel pool pass prices, rules to book, and location.

You will also find a downloadable map in this post to help you find the pool closest to you!

What is an Athens hotel pool day pass?

If you are reading this post and are wondering what exactly a pool pass is, let me explain.

A pool pass is something that some hotels offer to allow anyone off the street to come to use the hotel pool in exchange for a fee.

This means you don’t have to be a hotel guest to use their pool!

Unfortunately, not every hotel in Athens allows this. And, I should know, I contacted every single one and asked!

Since I live here in Athens I also visited the pools on this list to make sure they are actually worth visiting!

So now that we have gone over what the Athens pool pass is, let’s get to the list!

1. St. George Lycabettus Lifestyle Hotel

Kleomenous 2, Athina 106 75, Greece

My favorite Athens hotel that offers a pool pass is St George Lycabettus Lifestyle Hotel. This hotel is located in the heart of Athens, in the Koloanki neighborhood, just below the famous Lycabettus Hill.

In addition to the rooftop pool with views of Acropolis Hill, the hotel also features a spa treatment center. An experience for those who seek relaxation after a day of cultural trips around the Greek capital.

Up on the rooftop enjoy the panoramic views and cool off during the scorching summer days, at the outdoor pool. It’s the perfect spot for a refreshing swim.

Don’t forget to try the Mediterranean cuisine while sitting poolside. I can recommend the Salmon Poke Bowl. If you are legal to drink in Greece, try signature cocktails under the Athenian sky. Or just chill on the comfortable sunbeds and a sun lounge area.

2. Hotel Fresh

59 ATHINAS, Sofokleous &, Athina 105 52, Greece

Hotel Fresh stands out as a beacon of modern design amid the city’s historical backdrop. With a prime location just a stone’s throw from iconic landmarks such as the Ancient Agora and the National Archaeological Museum.

This is one of the more affordable hotels in Athens with a rooftop pool and city view. The spacious and comfortable rooms of the hotel have great natural light, each offering panoramic city views, and some even boast a direct view of the Acropolis!

The highlight of Hotel Fresh is its inviting rooftop pool and bar that you can pay to experience! Just imagine trying a variety of summer cocktails and delicious treats while soaking in the stunning views of the Athenian skyline.

By day, the pool area and sun loungers on the roof garden offer a laid-back urban oasis for relaxation and a refreshing dive. By night, the atmosphere transforms, becoming an eclectic meeting point for both hotel guests and locals, with live DJ setting the mood for special occasions.

3. Meliá Athens

14 Chalkokondili & 28th October Ave 106 77 Athens

I recently had the chance to spend a day at the Melia Hotel located just north of Fresh Hotel. It was one of those sweltering hot days in Athens, so I decided to treat myself to the pool day pass, and trust me, it was worth every penny.

Their rooftop pool offers more than just a swim; it offers a panoramic embrace of Athens itself. I lounged comfortably on the sunbeds, took refreshing dives in the pristine water, and sipped on an Aperol spritz.

If you’re looking for a unique way to experience Athens or just a day of luxurious relaxation, I can’t recommend the Melia Hotel’s pool day pass enough. Do yourself a favor and experience it firsthand!

4. Airotel Alexandros

---

Timoleontos Vassou 8, Athina 115 21, Greece

Another hotel pool in Athens that I had the pleasure of visiting was Airotel Alexandros. Located near Mount Lycabettus Hill, this hotel has a great vibe. But the highlight for me? Their outdoor area.

I took advantage of their day pass, which granted me access to the incredible rooftop pool.

It was the perfect blend of tranquility and urban charm, allowing me to unwind and soak in the Athenian atmosphere.

If you’re considering a day of relaxation, and some quality ‘me’ time in the city, I wholeheartedly recommend spending it at Airotel Alexandros. It wasn’t cheap, but truly was an unforgettable day!

5. Acropolis Hill

---

7, Mouson Street, Athina 117 42, Greece

Another hotel offering a pool pass in the center of Athens is the Acropolis Hill Hotel. If you are looking for a pool just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Acropolis this is the perfect place.

I spent one particularly hot summer day on the wooden decks of this ideal setting. If you get hungry, they have a great rooftop bar & restaurant with a straight-shot view of the Acropolis.

Acropolis Hill is also an affordable option for solo travelers in Athens since they don’t require you to purchase a set of chairs.

6. Hotel Grande Bretagne (Pool Usage With Spa Services)

If you are looking for access to an indoor pool, you can use the pool at the Hotel Grande Bretagne when you purchase spa services!
