A luxury, grand hotel in central Athens.
Pros:

A stunning, luxury hotel in an extremely central part of Athens.
Tastefully decorated and well maintained rooms, with luxury amenities.
Breakfast on the 8th floor overlooking the Acropolis, was breathtaking. Breakfast was of a high quality.
The rooftop pool is a welcome retreat on a warm Athens summer afternoon.
Warm, professional staff.

Cons:

Nothing

One of the memorable hotels in a long life of travelling
Pros:

If you book an hotel overlooking the Parliament building in Athens, you expect the best. With this hotel, you get the best. The location, the service, the staff attitude and training are of the best. Having breakfast overlooking the city of Athens, with a superb view of the Parthenon, is a memorable moment even for the seasoned traveller. Would I return to this hotel? In a flash!
