The Conrad Athens The Ilisian opens in June 2026 and is already accepting reservations. Even better, award availability is wide open for summer stays and dates loaded through the end of the calendar year.

Located within walking distance of major cultural landmarks, galleries, restaurants, and boutiques, it’s positioned to be one of Athens’ top new luxury hotels.

Here’s how you can book it.

Award Alert — The Details

The Conrad Athens Ilisian is the full redevelopment of the former Hilton Athens, now positioned as a modern, luxurious Conrad property.

When it opens this summer, the hotel will offer multiple restaurants and bars — including a rooftop venue with Acropolis views — plus a spa, fitness center, and indoor and outdoor pools.

Located along Vasilissis Sofias Avenue near Kolonaki, it’s within walking distance of top museums, cultural landmarks, shopping, and dining.

Standard award nights start at 96,000 Hilton Honors points, though most dates throughout the year are priced at 120,000 points per night, typical for a top-tier Conrad in a major European capital.

Summer cash rates are regularly $600 or more per night. At 120,000 points for a $600+ room, you’re getting roughly 0.5 cents per point in value, which aligns with our Hilton Honors valuation of 0.5 cents per point. On higher-priced nights, you could do even better.

How To Book

To redeem Hilton Honors points at the Conrad Athens The Ilisian, you’ll need to book directly through Hilton. First, though, confirm standard room availability. You can use award search tools like MaxMyPoint or Rooms.aero to help you scan a wider range of availability quickly.

Once you’ve found your dates, log in and book directly with Hilton. Short on points? Currently, Hilton is offering up to a 100% bonus when you buy points, but you can also transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Hilton Honors — just run the math on the transfer ratio first.

Hot Tip:

This is a good opportunity to redeem free night certificates earned with the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card and Hilton Honors American Express Surpass^® Card, unlocking outsized value at a property where cash rates easily exceed $600 per night.

Final Thoughts

This summer, Athens is getting a new luxury Hilton option, and that’s good news for travelers looking to stay in a prime location while exploring the Greek capital.

With award nights starting at 96,000 points per night — and most dates pricing at 120,000 points — the Conrad Athens The Ilisian presents a solid redemption opportunity in a destination where summer cash rates regularly exceed $600. If you’re planning a trip to Athens, locking in award space now could make sense before peak-season demand tightens availability.
