The Plaka is the most upscale in the family-owned chain that includes the hotels Hermes and Achilleas. Highly polished wood floors sparkle under guest-room beds, which have stylish wood headboards with burled inlays. Deep-blue velvet curtains rise to the ceiling and match the upholstery on the wood-arm easy chairs. The glassed-in breakfast room looks out over the bustling shopping thoroughfare of Ermou, Syntagma, and the Monastiraki metro. Some rooms offer views of the Acropolis, which can also be enjoyed from the roof garden.
