Piraeus Theoxenia calls itself the only landmark 5-star hotel in Piraeus, and Discover Greece lists it as 5-star deluxe. It's on Karaoli & Dimitriou, about 1.3 miles by road from the Terminal A street point by our routing, with an underground garage and Incognito Restaurant & Bar.
The headline amenity is off the table this year. The rooftop pool "will not be available for the 2026 season", the hotel says, though other listings still show it.
The garage charges, with no price printed, and nothing covers a car while you cruise. Breakfast is a buffet; the hotel doesn't say it's included.
Book it for a polished room close to the gates, not for the pool, and price the garage when you book.
Book it if
- You want a five-star room close to the gates
- Dinner in the building at Incognito
- You're driving and will pay for a garage
Look elsewhere if
- You're booking for the rooftop pool — it's closed for 2026.
- You need the garage price before you arrive.
- You want breakfast in the rate.
