Top 20 Luxury 5-star hotels in Athens, Greece

| Hotel reviews | 3 seen

For a luxury stay in Athens with a panoramic view towards Acropolis you should be ready to pay between EUR 120 up to EUR 670 per night.

Although I haven't stayed for a night in Athens, as I have just once been here during a few hours between connecting flights (see: About Tbilisi - Athens - Chania (Greece) flight by Aegean Airlines) I would definitely love to stay close to the Acropolis (Ancient Agora of Athens). Sure I would think twice am I ready to spend about EUR 670 per night for a luxury hotel in Athens, I must admit those hotels with great panoramic views towards Acropolis interests me the most.

If money is no obstacle, see TOP 20 Luxury 5-star hotels in Athens. No worries if you are on "limited luxury budget", there are still plenty of 5-star hotels in Athens in a price range EUR 120-200 per night.
