The clue is in the name at the Acropolis View Hotel, where views of Athens' iconic monument are as good as its proximity to it. This lower-middle-range property offers 32 rooms with flat-screen TVs, free continental breakfasts, a 24-hour lobby bar, and a lovely rooftop terrace with panoramic views. Excellent positioning a stone's throw from the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Filopappou Hill makes it a winning pick for sightseeing travelers, and low rates are attractive. Interiors are a basic mix of dated and contemporary, but all considered, it's an excellent value choice. A touch pricier, the Acropolis Hill Hotel adds in a pool.

The King George is a historic and luxurious property with 102 rooms and suites, and enviable positioning in Athens' historic center. Neoclassical interiors and high-end grandeur are found throughout the swanky lobby, bar, and restaurant areas, and the latter two face the Acropolis.
