Heritage: Significant historical importance since 1874

“In my opinion, this hotel certainly benefits from its prime location and historical significance, as well as perks such as live food stations managed by renowned executive chefs. However, some experiences seem inconsistent with a five-star expectation, based on what I've read. I think the rooftop views toward the Acropolis and the full-service spa remain strong selling points.”
