Total comfort!! Fantastic facilities. The Butler service is exceptional. I have never received this level of comfort and care in any hotel and note that I come originally from India - where you would normally get even more comfort. This hotel is exceptional. All the folks at the butler desk are to be commended. Sorry I dont know their names but they are all fantastic.

This hotel is one of a kind in Athens. It was built in 1874 and is impeccable. Great vibe from rooftop garden restaurant view of Acropolis and the Olympic Stadium to a fabulous afternoon tea, and a unique relaxing cigar lounge. Spa and gym were under renovations. Great food and superb reception, concierge and bellman staff!
