Greece

An ultra-chic design boutique hotel nestled in Athens' exclusive Kolonaki district, celebrated for its legendary, warm service and all-day complimentary snacks. While the standard rooms can feel cramped and dark, the luxury suites and Penthouse offer private rooftop jacuzzis with spectacular views of the Acropolis.

A recently renovated luxury hotel in central Athens, Conrad Athens The Ilisian wins praise for stylish redesign, attentive staff and a resort-like pool and wellness area. Reviewers repeatedly mention upgrades for Hilton Diamond members, excellent breakfast (though a few note occasional service hiccups) and a very convenient location near museums, parks and the metro.
