Fodor's Expert Review Grecotel Pallas Athena

Fun yet posh, this is a crazy/cool boutique art hotel in a slightly sketchy but strategic location near City Hall, Omonia, and the Central Market. Artists were specially commissioned to decorate some of the 63 rooms (most of them suites and many of them family rooms) with happy graffiti works and unique design pieces. All guest rooms are comfortable, with curvaceous lines, uplifting white walls, and art deco modeling, and some are more understated than others, so you get plenty of choice. Dining at the hotel's first-floor gourmet restaurant is an elegant affair, and there is also a small gym.
