“Kolonaki is where Athens' hautes bourgeoises go for coffee and patisserie or smart after-dinner drinks. The St George has presided over the neighbourhood for more than 50 years, and its dignified charm has been enhanced by a recent makeover to keep it competitive with upstart rivals. It has lost none of its style, but the rooftop pool is still its biggest selling point – along with very attractive rates, considering what you get for the money. Go for a south-facing room with a balcony overlooking the Acropolis.”
