Frommer's Highly Recommended

Formerly the Hilton, this is a grand hotel in the contemporary manner -- more like a resort if you consider the range of its facilities. Its lobby sets the tone -- spacious and relaxed. The staff is professional yet friendly. Guest rooms are standard Greek-hotel-size, with comfortable beds and state-of-the art bathrooms. The grounds create a semitropical ambience. In addition to the pools, a lovely private beach below beckons. Kanoni, an island landmark, is nearby. The island's airport is off in the middle distance -- not a major problem unless your windows are open, but we suggest you ask for a room facing the sea instead. Patrons get a 50% discount at Corfu Golf Club (18km/12 miles away). Perhaps the biggest surprise of all: One of Greece's major casinos is on the premises -- although there has been talk of moving it to the Achilleion, the Kaiser's one-time mansion . Facilities:2 restaurants; 2 bars; 2 pools; lit tennis courts; jogging track; health club; watersports equipment; concierge; tours and car rentals arranged; conference facilities; boutiques; salon; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; bowling, billiards, and table tennis.
