The standard of hotels has markedly improved thanks to the Olympics – and was certainly needed. The prices shown are for the high season; prices are lower in the low and intermediate seasons.
Grand Bretagne
This famous old classic has been fully renovated and restored to its former glory. This is where people on State visits and other celebrities stay when they are in town. Even so, you can visit the bar and restaurant GB Corner without burning a hole in your wallet. Address: Syntagma

Hotel Achilleas
