If you’re after a hotel with a view, it’s hard to beat King George, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens, which sits on Syntagma Square and looks out at the Parthenon, Constitution Square and the Parliament building.
Greek-owned and outfitted with a curated collection of paintings by Greek artists like Kostis Georgiou and Pavlos Samios, the 102-room hotel has a more boutique feel than its larger neighbor, Hotel Grande Bretagne, even though they’re both part of The Luxury Collection. Swathed in shades of cream and gold, King George maintains a timeless elegance (think herringbone floors, gorgeous Murano chandeliers and neoclassical-style moldings) but with contemporary touches, so it never feels like the décor is outdated.
Welcoming stars like Marilyn Monroe and Madonna since opening in 1930, King George remains one of Athens’s most fashionable addresses today — and it’s conveniently near Voukourestiou Street, a favorite shopping destination for Athenians and visitors alike.
