Reader’s three favorite resorts in Athens
Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens.
While Athens has no shortage of grand sights, travelers have long treated Greece’s capital as a stopover on their way to Santorini and Mykonos, according to T+L. Therefore, readers highlighted two hotels in the city center and one in the southern suburbs as the top accommodations in the region.
The Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens remains the leader in this category, thanks to its luxurious atmosphere and glamorous history, having hosted renowned figures such as Brigitte Bardot and Jackie Onassis.
“I’m sure there are other fabulous hotels in Athens, but this is the hotel I will go back to again and again,” a T+L reader remarked.
A77 Suites near the Acropolis and King George, a Luxury Collection Hotel Athens, ranked second and third place, respectively, because of their prime location and top-notch hospitality.
