Situated on the slopes of Lycabettus hill, this  is probably the only hotel with such a breathtaking view of the city and coast. The rooms are pretty small but certainly appreciated by those who enjoy compact spaces. In terms of decoration, each floor has its own theme. To that extent, Byzantine paintings are to be found on the entire 4th floor. “Toni’s bar” covers all major sports events and if that is not quite your style, opt for classy bar-restaurant “Frame”. If you can spare the extra cash, book an evening in the “Princess Marie Christine” suite.  The more expensive rate is a small price to pay to be treated like royalty.

154 rooms. Singles/Doubles: €150-200, Deluxe Acropolis view: €240-500
