The award’s experts recognized The Dolli Hotel under the Acropolis as a symbol of refined luxury and thoughtful design, seamlessly blending modern and classical elegance.

Located between Plaka, Monastiraki, and Syntagma Square, the hotel boasts 46 rooms, an infinity rooftop pool with Parthenon views, and a rooftop restaurant specializing in Greek cuisine. It is member of the Grecotel hospitality group.

“The hotel’s charm lies in its meticulous attention to detail, from the chic, minimalist decor of its sleeping quarters and the feminine curves of its walls, so influencing the hotel’s name, to the notable artwork,” experts said.

Recenlty, the Dolli was honored as the Best Hotel in Greece and one of the best in Europe and the world at the Conde Nast Traveler UK Readers’ Choice Awards 2024.

Nestled in Oia on Santorini Island, Santo Mine Oia Suites is a 5-star adults-only hotel featuring 37 suites, each with a private plunge pool and stunning views of the Aegean Sea.

“Each of the suites is designed in the style of Cycladic minimalism, blending raw materials, such as clay, stone, and black lava rock—to create an ambiance that feels as though it’s pulling the beauty of the outdoors inside,” the feature highlighted.

Santo Mine boasts stellar restaurants and wine lovers can enjoy tastings at cellars climbing the volcanic hills.
