Athens’ most famous hotel, facing Parliament on Syntagma Square since 1874. Opulent rooms, a celebrated rooftop restaurant and a spa. Syntagma is the heart of modern Athens, around the square facing the Parliament, where the Evzones guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; Ermou, the main shopping street, and the National Garden start here, and the metro runs straight to the airport. Many central Athens hotels have rooftop terraces with views of the Acropolis, so ask about the view when you book.
