Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

As yet, the distinctive, classy St. George does not get many tour groups, which contributes to its tranquil and sophisticated tone. The rooftop pool is a real plus, as is the excellently redesigned rooftop restaurant, the Le Grand Balcon, much-favored by wealthy Greeks for private events. Floors have differing decorative motifs, from baroque to modern Italian. Most rooms look toward pine-clad Mount Likavitos; some have views of the Acropolis. Others overlook a small park or have interior views. This impeccable boutique hotel is located in the posh city quarter of Kolonaki just steps from chic restaurants, cafes, lounges, and shops. Check out the fabulous Frame lounge in the hotel lobby after dark; this ultra-hip lounge/bar is one of the hottest Athenian destinations -- people swore to me they saw Madonna there one night in the spring.
