⭐ Core Definition: Hotel Mont Parnes

Regency Casino Mont Parnes, also known as the Parnitha Casino, is a casino situated at Mount Parnitha north of Athens. Originally built as Hotel Mont Parnes, it was a luxury hotel designed by architect Pavlos Mylonas [el] and was built between 1958 and 1961.

It was the first luxury hotel in the Attica region, but was not commercially successful. This would lead to casino being licensed on its premises in 1971, that would also become the first one ever in the Attica. Subsequently, an aerial tramway (the Parnitha Funitel) would be built in 1972 to help transport quests up to the hotel.
