John’s Hotel

Among the star features of the modern, medium-rise hotel are: its attractive Art Nouveau-style bar and foyer; a palm tree-studded garden and terrace; and a 15m (50ft) pool with waterfall. It is set in a residential suburb, close to the airport and some 30 minutes’ drive to the city centre. Service is cool yet professional. Pandoras 3 & Lazaraki, 16674 Glyfada, Athens.

Andromeda Hotel

A real find: a small boutique hotel, on a quiet side street 20-30 minutes’ walk from Syntagma Square and the historic city centre. It is dotted with designer objects and antique carpets; its many amenities include laundry service and 24-hour room service. The restaurant serves Oriental and Polynesian specialities. Timoleontos Vassou 22, 11521 Athens.

Hotel Marble House

This friendly, efficient family-run hotel is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, within an easy walk of the Plaka. Excellent value. Zinni Anastasiou 35, 11741-Koykaki, Athens.
