Since the first Electra hotel opened back in 1965, Electra Hotels and Resorts’ history has been one of warm, luxurious hospitality<br />

services. Operating under the philosophy of traditional Greek hospitality, we aim at creating a comfortable environment full of<br />

luxurious details, from which our honored guests can explore Greece’s main cities or the island of Rhodes, one of the country’s most<br />

celebrated islands. For half a century, we have hosted more than 6.5 million discerning travelers in our properties in Athens,<br />

Thessaloniki and Rhodes, treating each and every one of them as family. As we embark towards our centennial, we plan to keep on<br />

doing just that: creating a sumptuous hospitality experience fit for the 21st century traveler that is still warm and familial – just as you<br />

know us to be.<br />

1965: The first Electra hotel opens – the Electra Athens, at Ermou Street, in the center of the Greek capital. Since then it has been, and<br />

still is, a favorite amongst business and leisure travelers, gaining loyal friends every year!<br />

1969: Capitalizing on the success of the Electra Athens, the Electra family expands its operations and takes over the management of the<br />

Creta Beach Hotel & Bungalows in Heraklion, Crete. Following 26 successful years of operation the Electra Hotels & resorts decided to<br />

give up the management of the subject hotel but still own 50% of the company.<br />

1972: At Thessaloniki, in northern Greece, a second property is added to the Electra Hotels and Resorts portfolio. The celebrated<br />

Electra Palace Thessaloniki, beautiful and imposing, with its classic decoration and breathtaking views, opens its gates in the famous<br />

Aristotelous Square to host guests from all over the world, bringing the Electra experience to Thessaloniki’s visitors. Since then it has<br />

become a favorite landmark and a point of reference for the city of Thessaloniki.<br />

1973: The second Electra in Athens opens for the public. With its classic architecture that blends seamlessly with Plaka’s charming<br />

buildings, the Electra Palace Athens is immediately recognized as a beautiful addition to the historical quarter. Its stately luxury, lavish<br />

amenities and Acropolis views quickly made this hotel stand out of the competition, gaining loyal friends.<br />

1975: Ten years after the first Electra opened, a brand new resort is added to the Electra Hotels and Resorts portfolio. At Rhodes, one<br />

of Greece’s most popular destinations, the Electra Palace Rhodes receives the first of its many, many guests. Featuring spacious rooms,<br />

ample outdoor spaces and of course, the Electra hospitality, it quickly becomes a beloved summer destination for holidaymakers from<br />

around the world!<br />

2015: The Electra family celebrates its 50 years of operation! Since the development of the first Electra hotel, the Electra Athens on<br />

Ermou Street in 1965, everyone in the family strives to offer our guests the experience and feeling of what we call Traditional Greek<br />

Hospitality! Your continuous support through the years motivate us to work harder and give back to our guests and the societies that<br />

surround us! Thank you for being next to us for all these years!<br />

2016: The ELECTRA METROPOLIS Hotel is a soon to launch five-star luxury lifestyle hotel with 223 modernly equipped rooms,<br />

including 19 suites and 18 family rooms, located in the heart of Athens, within walking distance from shopping arcades, Acropolis and<br />
