"Minimalist bedrooms boast balconies overlooking the city and furnishings made from recycled materials."

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.
"Quirky design hotel with a rooftop lounge and artwork by Greek designers in Athens's hip Plaka neighborhood." Full review
"Details such as Kiehl’s amenities and great bedding do not go amiss. Perhaps even better than the design, is the food." Full review
