Modern and Contemporary era (1821 - )
In the 1960s, many Greek movies were shot here and at the same period, the School of Touristic Business was hosted as well.
1970 To cover the costs of the hotel, it was decided that a casino would be allowed to operate. Since then, the systematic destruction of the interior of the building has begun.
1999 The great earthquake of Athens (7/9/1999) had the foothills of Parnitha mountain as its epicentre, resulting in serious damage to Mont Parnes, which was gradually restored. Since then, however, a great decline has begun, and the idea of demolition has been proposed, to the negative reaction of a number of architects.
