Amalia Hotel takes its name from Queen Amalia of Oldenburg, the 19th-century Bavarian-born queen consort whose name is also attached to Amalias Avenue, the boulevard running along the eastern edge of the National Garden, which she had a hand in developing during her time as queen. The hotel sits directly on that avenue, facing the greenery of the National Garden and a short walk from the Zappeion exhibition hall within it.
The location puts the hotel within a five-minute walk of Syntagma Square in one direction and the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian's Arch in the other, both of which sit at the southeastern corner of the National Garden along the same avenue. This stretch of Amalias Avenue carries significant traffic as one of the main routes connecting Syntagma to the coastal road toward the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, so street-facing rooms will pick up some road noise.
Plaka's lanes begin just across Amalias Avenue from the hotel, giving guests a short, flat walk into the historic quarter's tavernas and shops without needing transit.

Tips for visiting
- Request a garden-facing room over a street-facing one to reduce traffic noise from Amalias Avenue
- Walk through the National Garden rather than along the avenue itself for a quieter, shaded route to Syntagma or the Zappeion
- Visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian's Arch, both a short walk south, in early morning for softer light and fewer visitors
- Cross directly into Plaka from the hotel for dinner rather than heading toward the busier Syntagma restaurants
