Grand Hyatt Athens
Overall stay at the hotel was llvely, checking in desk staff were very helpful, however the doorman i found to be very unprofessional, unhelpful... he focused on anyone he thought he could get a tip from or earn extra cash from... mainly from men, which left myself a single female to communicate ...

The Stanley
The rooftop restaurant and bar was a wonderful setting for the great variety of breakfast food and for cocktails in the evening with views of the Parthenon. The pool was too cold to really enjoy when we were there.
