Fodor's Expert Review Crowne Plaza Athens City Centre

On the site of the city's former Holiday Inn (it opened its doors in mid-2008), this is among the most technology-friendly Athens hotels. The comfortable, modern rooms are outfitted with large flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, a media hub for digital cameras, PlayStation games, and iPods—there's even a laptop safe that opens with your own credit card. There is also hotel-wide wireless printing and a convenient gym. Another plus is lots of in-house food, including meals at the rooftop café with Acropolis views and at the Ambrosia gourmet restaurant. The nearest metro station that takes you to all the sights (Megaron) is a 5-minute walk, and the posh Kolonaki neighborhood is a leisurely 15-minute stroll away.
