It would be very easy to focus on the view you get from the rooftop restaurant at the Athens Gate Hotel. Because there – right in front of you – is the most famous landmark in Greece. Sitting on a hill overlooking the nation’s capital, the Acropolis provides the most delightful of accompaniments to a delicious Greek breakfast, romantic dinner, or a post-prandial cocktail at the bar.
It’s no wonder this view was voted the 4th best on the planet by the users of TripAdvisor, but you don’t need to be up there on the 8th floor to enjoy the scenery – simply peek out of the window from many of the 99 bedrooms here, all wonderfully appointed, for a fantastic city vista.
Indeed, because the 4-star hotel is located in this enchanting locale, there are amazing sites of interest all around, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Gate, constructed by the Athenians to welcome the Roman emperor Adrianos (Hadrian), both of which are just opposite.
