What divani caravel hotel does

Divani Caravel Hotel is a 5-star luxury hotel located in central Athens at 2 Vassileos Alexandrou Avenue, operating within walking distance of Syntagma Square, the Kolonaki district, and major cultural landmarks including the Acropolis. The property is part of Divani Collection Hotels, a privately held family business founded in 1958 by Aristotelis Divanis and now led by CEO Spiros Divanis; the collection operates seven luxury hotels across Greece (Athens, Athenian Riviera, Meteora, Larissa, and Corfu). The hotel was created through the 1993 acquisition of the historic Hotel Caravel, an event that doubled the group's capacity. Its product offering spans accommodation (Essential, Superior, Executive, Family rooms plus Divine Acropolis View, Divine Family, and Presidential Suites), dining across multiple outlets (signature Art Deco JuJu Bar & Restaurant, Fyllopolis all-day restaurant, Thea rooftop pool bar, Amalia breakfast service, and in-room dining), wellness through the rooftop Peak Health Club & Spa operated by Aegeo Spa with Technogym equipment, and a substantial MICE operation anchored by the recently renovated Olympia Convention Center alongside the Macedonia Floor and Horizon Hall venues.
