The 153-room Radisson Blu Park Hotel Athens is an upscale property situated slightly beyond the city center, a four-minute walk to the nearest metro (which connects guests to most city hotspots in about 20 minutes). The hotel offers eclectic decor in the common areas, though some areas of the hotel -- particularly the Standard Rooms -- feel somewhat generic and dated for a hotel at this pearl-level. Rooms come with free Wi-Fi, minibars, and attractive marbled bathrooms. The hotel has several stylish on-site restaurants and bars, including a top-floor restaurant and a rooftop bar, which sits right next to the seasonal pool. One of the hotel’s best features is its astounding views of the Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill. Guests looking for a similar-range hotel that’s still slightly beyond the hustle-and-bustle of the city center can try the Melia Athens.

This boutique budget property has location in particular going for it, as it’s situated right in the Plaka neighborhood, and most of Athens’ main attractions are within walking distance. Interiors tend to look like a futuristic art installment, with boldly painted glass walls in rooms, and LED lighting and hanging white baubles by the front desk. The abstract aesthetic isn’t for everyone, and the 16 rooms are on the small side, but clean fixtures, free Wi-Fi throughout, and jetted massage features in the showers are universally appealing. There’s no pool, gym, business center, or parking here, but the top-floor restaurant offers great Acropolis views, a bar, and a breakfast buffet. For a similar location, but a more understated elegance, guests may prefer the nearby Sweet Home Hotel -- though rates are higher.
