Athens


This boutique hotel offers just 10 rooms in a handsomely converted neoclassical building right beside the metropolitan cathedral. Six of the rooms overlook the Acropolis (the rest get light from an atrium). Breakfast is served at the excellent rooftop restaurant and bar, which is worth a visit even if you aren't staying at the hotel.
