King George Palace

Room to Book:

One of the six Acropolis Deluxe rooms with views of the Acropolis. (The Royal Penthouse Suite was listed among our 50 Most Romantic Places of 2005, so maybe that's worth a splurge for special occasions.)

Insider Tip:

Dine on a menu of Mediterranean-French cuisine at Tudor Hall restaurant and cocktails at the ultra-chic lounge T-Palace. This white library, dreamed up by Greek film director Antonis Kalogrides, features royal-blue sofas and Mooi Smoke chairs by Maarten Baas, as well as art by Dimitris Antonitsis and Konstantin Kakanias, all illuminated by black Baccarat chandeliers. Try the Mediterranean cuisine from a menu created by Alain Ducasse.
