Fodor's Expert Review Hera Hotel

Attention to elegant detail—the lobby's marble floors, dark wood paneling, and leather sofas—reigns at this small and elegant hotel, a good value that is perfectly located just down the street from the Acropolis Museum. The Hera is, it must be added, just a three-minute walk from the Acropolis itself, and the rooms on the third and fourth floor as well as the restaurant offer a full view of the marble wonder. The guest rooms are done up in soothing dark browns, deep greens, and straw colors. For a romantic dinner or drinks, head to the roof-garden deck where the gourmet Peacock restaurant perches among soaring columns.
