One of my favourite hotels is the Intercontinental Athenaeum in Athens. It's not because it is especially well located or has a great architectural style, it is because it has fantastic views over the city and especially the Acropolis. Having breakfast in the club lounge looking at the ancient world is fantastic. The hotel is located about a half hour drive from the airport and within walking distance of some of Athens best attractions. The rooms are modern and big as are the bathrooms. The only drawback is a lack of power points in the room especially around the bed. There is a great gym with a pool and a full service Spa, great restaurants and bars in the hotel as well as around the hotel. The club lounge has an excellent offering on both food and drinks with great staff and great service. Overall a great hotel, making it hard to leave and explore the town.
