Discover A for Athens, a hotel whose top-floor bar looks directly onto the Acropolis. Settle in with a drink above Monastiraki Square and watch the ancient hill change colour as evening arrives.
Full description
A for Athens is a hotel in the heart of the old centre, overlooking Monastiraki Square, with a restaurant and bar on its top floor open to non-guests. Its main draw is the outlook, with the Acropolis and its rock framed above the rooftops of the old town.
Reviewers praise the location, the large, well-appointed rooms and staff who go out of their way for special occasions. For a drink, it works best around sunset, when the terrace is at its most atmospheric and couples tend to dominate the seating.

Great hotel at a great location. Room was clean, modern and comfortable and staff was friendly. Rooftop restaurant was closed for renovations however the morning breakfast was moved across the square (an easy walk) to their sister hotel and that was amazing. Can't beat the central location!
