"A few years ago, a round-up of hotels in Athens as extensive and luxurious as the one our editors have curated below would have been almost unthinkable. While the Greek capital has long been a city-break destination for history buffs and sunshine seekers, it's only recently that Athens hotels have caught up with the appetite for long weekends and shoulder-season trips from a chic, jet-setting crew."
"A new hotel seems to open in Athens every week now-from funky guesthouses and chic boutique hotels to restored neoclassical monuments and coastal resorts. In the center, book into chic design hotels, urban-cool restaurants with rooms, or centuries-old landmark buildings which have had new life breathed into them. Stays in the heart of the city mean you're in the thick of the action, and can spend days wandering idly along the crumbly streets or brushing up on your history at the big-hitting attractions."
Athens has evolved from a brief stop-over into a sought-after city-break and long-weekend destination with stylish, upscale accommodation. Hotels now range from funky guesthouses and chic boutique properties to restored neoclassical landmarks and coastal resorts. Central neighborhoods offer chic design hotels, urban-cool restaurants with rooms, and centuries-old landmarks close to major attractions and walkable, crumbly streets. The city features a buzzing food scene and new rooftop bars with views of the Parthenon. The Athens Riviera, about 10 miles from the center, provides slick branded resorts, low-key properties, vibey pool scenes and private beaches for Aegean swims.
