The Mont Parnes Hotel is a building situated at Mount Parnitha north of Athens, which now houses the Regency Casino Mont Parnes, also known as the Parnitha Casino. It was designed by architect Pavlos Mylonas [el] and was built between 1958 to 1961. It was the first luxury hotel in the Attica region, but was not very popular. This would lead to casino being licensed on its premises in 1971, that would also become the first one ever in the Attica. Subsequently, a cable car would be built in 1972 to help transport quests up to the hotel.
The hotel ceased operations in 1974, while Casino it would still function. In 1984, Mont Parnes became the property of the Greek National Tourist Organization, which was privatized again in 2003. It is located at Mavrovouni, at an altitude of 1,078 meters.
