Don't miss the rooftop bar for cocktails made with Mastic--a better alternative than the Ouzo stuff that has pine-y and creamy with a faint bite of licorice.
Jetsetter "Quirky design hotel with a rooftop lounge and artwork by Greek designers in Athens's hip Plaka neighborhood." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Details such as Kiehl’s amenities and great bedding do not go amiss. Perhaps even better than the design, is the food." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
