Filion Suites Resort & Spa is suited to travelers who want an escape, and don't mind doing a little extra leg work to get there. The upscale resort is located at the end of a quiet mountain road, and while surrounded by a few homes and other accommodations, there is virtually nothing else nearby. There are dining options on location, including a poolside cafe and daily buffet breakfast. The 94 rooms include a significant number of Family Suites, all with minimalist modern decor, and balconies -- some with mountain views. While the resort does make an effort to be family-friendly -- it has a playground and two kids' pools -- its remote location makes it better suited to couples looking for a relaxing getaway.

The 264-room Royal Olympic Hotel is a classically designed luxury hotel set amid Athens' historic treasures. Across the street from the Temple of Zeus and a 12-minute walk to the Acropolis, the hotel is at the center of historic Athens. The entire property is decorated grandly -- with lots of bronze details, Greek art and mosaics, and blue-carpeted hallways -- but the Executive and Deluxe Rooms could use a little more space and light. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a rooftop garden restaurant and bar, and free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property. An on-site Wellness Center is in the works, but has not opened as of December 2016. Right now guests can book spa treatments through a local partnership.

The 389-room Stanley Hotel is within walking distance of a fresh fish and meat market and right next to a metro station for convenient access to historic sites. This mid-range property is clean and comfortable, with some upgrades to keep it fresh -- hallways and blocks of rooms, primarily -- but other areas still need an update. A variety of room options are available, all with mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs, but not all with kettles. A refreshing pool in the rooftop garden and two decent restaurants -- one serving a free breakfast buffet -- make this a suitable pick for business or sightseeing in Athens. For a hotel with more panache, check out A is for Athens, offering stylish rooms within walking distance of the Acropolis.

InnAthens is a mid-range boutique hotel set in the back secret garden of a restaurant in central Athens, a four-minute walk to Syntagma Square.
