Apollo Palm Hotel, Psyri
Set within a Bauhaus-style, 1930s police station in an area full of galleries and antique shops, the Apollo Palm Hotel (pictured above) is among the best urban boltholes Athens has to offer. With a rooftop bar that boasts views of the Acropolis, this is a key stopover.

Shila, Kolonaki
Perched above the well-heeled Kolonaki district, Shila’s leafy rooftop garden is a welcome draw. The six suites each offer a private garden or balcony, plush furnishings and rustic wooden cabinets. Shila is known for its warm interiors – but the breeze may be what clinches it.

Hotel Grande Bretagne, Syntagma
As Greece’s first fully electrified hotel in the 1840s, Hotel Grande Bretagne housed athletes for the first modern Olympic Games. Yet the restored 320-key hotel feels far from old-fashioned. Modern twists and first-class service make the Athenian landmark enduringly popular.
