Anthology of Athens

A five-story boutique hotel sitting between the Acropolis and the ruins of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, many rooms looking directly onto the toppled columns. Inside, a cascading vertical garden fills the central atrium, and the earthy palette of sage and ivory keeps things grounded while the marble bathrooms and parquet floors handle the luxury end. The rooftop restaurant has its own ornamental gardens and the kind of view that makes dinner feel implausible. Michelin awarded it one Key.
