Frommer's "The elegant Peacock Lounge has become one of the most popular bar/restaurants in the city -- especially a little after sunset for its breathtaking views." Full review
Fodor's "Attention to elegant detail—the lobby's marble floors, wood paneling, and leather sofas—reigns at this boutique hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Refurbished as a boutique hotel, the Hera’s rooms are on the small side but lack for nothing; it’s worth paying extra for fifth floor suites with bigger balconies."
Star Service "This exemplary small hotel has an elegant traditional spark and standout service that make it one of the more attractive small hotels here." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"An upper-mid-range boutique hotel located on the edge of the Plaka neighborhood... the main draw here is Peacock, the rooftop restaurant offering great views of the Acropolis." Full review
Jetsetter "Cozy crash pad in the shadow of the Acropolis with a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Parthenon." Full review
EuroCheapo "We consider Hera splurge-worthy for its relative affordability, its great location, and its inviting high-end atmosphere." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This elegant boutique hotel, a short walk from the Acropolis and Plaka, was totally rebuilt but the formal interior design is in keeping with the lovely neoclassical facade." Full review

Michelin Guide "Minimalist bedrooms boast balconies overlooking the city and furnishings made from recycled materials."
Concierge "Overall, it goes down as easily as the huge breakfast that's included in the price."
Fodor's "Years in the making, the New Hotel was heralded as an aesthetic triumph in the inner city's ever-changing landscape when it opened in 2011." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Sexy salvage—Brazilian designers Humberto and Fernando Campana mixed reclaimed furniture with contemporary art by Jenny Holzer and Laurie Anderson and their own offbeat designs." Full review
Star Service "This isn't just a new hotel but a new direction for hotels in Athens. This madcap modern mooring for art-hungry travelers is the boldest bit of real estate in the city, bar none." Full review
OysterUpscale
"Upscale New Hotel is an intricately designed boutique property... the hotel has a well-regarded restaurant as well as the top-floor Art Lounge." Full review
Afar Magazine "You'll find plenty of traditional Greek touches at NEW Hotel (and a central location), but that's not to say it is a traditional hotel experience." Full review

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
"This city-centre hotel incorporates the long-standing history and modern, hip culture of Athens through its beautiful contemporary design and imaginative spaces." Full review
