InterContinental Athenaeum Athens by IHG
Pros:

We made our InterContinental Athenaeum Athens by IHG reservation through Chase travel for a room at the club lounge level. The room was specious with a large living area and the service provided at the lounge was truly excellent. The lounge offered buffet breakfast, afternoon tea/coffee time and evening reception; each offered great food and drink selections. We also found out that we could order other breakfast items not included in the buffet; however, there would be a twenty minutes wait since the order had to be fulfilled by the restaurant on the lobby level.
We got to know Pemy and Elina who managed the desk at the lounge and also two of the house keepers Galina and Hamest. The entire staff were friendly and provided superb service. This is definitely one hotel we would stay at if we do return to Athens.

Always High Value
Pros:

Steady value and always a great service. An amazing Club Lounge on the 8th floor with super breakfast and service. The Breakfast on the lobby level is second to none in terms of both quality and variety.

Thoroughly disappointing. Never again!
Pros:

Being an Intercontinental Hotel, this was the worst I have ever experienced. This hotel fails the IHG. I am sorry I stayed at this hotel but will vote with my feet and leave it immediately. Never again IHG!
