A five-star on the edge of Plaka's lanes, opened in 1973. The reason to stay is the rooftop pool and the Electra Roof Garden, where the Acropolis looks close enough to touch. About 160 rooms, plus an indoor pool and spa. Step outside and you're in Plaka, which makes the walk home after dinner part of the evening.
