BEST HOSPITALITY BOUTIQUE HOTEL

Athens has quietly transformed itself into a true luxury (hotel) metropolis in recent years. While there were just 15 five-star hotels in Greece's capital in 2017, there are now 31! The absolute favorite of our jury - and winner in the “Best Hospitality Boutique Hotel” category - is called “The Dolli at Acropolis” and is located in a former private residence in the oldest part of the city. Lavishly renovated, the hotel now has 46 exclusive suites and probably the most spectacular rooftop in the city. But beware, if you only have eyes for the Acropolis, Pantheon and Agora high above, you might miss the art collection of owner Mari N. Daskalantonaki with works by Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and Alexander Calder further down! Also worth seeing and experiencing are the eclectic interiors, which seem to effortlessly combine antique elegance and modern design. www.thedolli.com
