Michelin Guide "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.
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

Ask for a room with a balcony overlooking Syntagma Square, the Parliament building, and the Acropolis.
Insight Guides "Perhaps the most famous hotel in Athens, oozing history and class, the Grande Bretagne on Sýndagma Square dates from 1846."

I choose the good full fat stuff and loaded it with pistachios and thyme honey.
