What I can see

The Electra Palace Hotel respects both the Hebrard urban plan and the older Olympion Hotel, right next to it. It has the same architectural logic in a more modern style and applies a more abstract vocabulary than the Parisian influences of the Olympion. It retains, however, the neo-Byzantine elements (e.g. arches) and contributes decisively to the preservation of the concave shape of the northern side of Aristotelous Square.

What I can't see

It was built as an A’ category luxury hotel of the Teachers’ Aid Fund and had 156 rooms with 267 beds and many services, such as a hairdresser, a pastry shop and other shops. The building was designed by Filippos Vokos, Aris Konstantinidis and Giorgos Triantafyllakis and cost 25,000,000 drachmas.
