Lodging
We have reserved room blocks at three hotels in Athens with negotiated rates, and we encourage you to consider these. Each hotel is conveniently located in downtown Athens, ranging from 4 to 16 minutes walking distance from the ceremony venue. While we didn’t secure a negotiated block at Hotel Indigo, it’s another great option and a 13 minute walk from the venue. There are many other hotels and bed and breakfasts in Athens and the surrounding areas if you would like to explore further.
Our room blocks will be released by September 25.
GRADUATE ATHENS
We stayed here on our last trip to Athens and really enjoyed it. It has a little more character than the bigger hotel chains, from retro appliances to room cards that look like student IDs from the ‘60s. The breakfast sandwiches sold in the cafe by reception are remarkably tasty.
