Athens isn’t just the birthplace of philosophy and marble perfection—it’s also home to some of the most legendary luxury hotels in Europe. Where else can you sip champagne on a rooftop with views of the Acropolis and stories worthy of a Greek tragedy? From neoclassical palaces to modern design gems steeped in myth and glamour, here are the most iconic luxury hotels in Athens—and the tales they quietly carry.

With opulent suites, crystal chandeliers, and a rooftop restaurant facing the Parthenon, the Grande Bretagne has hosted everyone from Elizabeth Taylor to Grace Kelly.

Amy Jackson is the epitome of multifaceted. A model, an actress, an entrepreneur, an advocate for change, and a mother; she’s achieved more than most by her age.

With 9.2 million followers on Instagram, Amy has accumulated a vast following from becoming one the biggest names in Indian cinema, starring in fifteen Indian made films and more recently moving to Hollywood as a recurring character in the CW’s Supergirl TV series as Saturn Girl (shown on Sky in the UK).

Despite growing up in a humble Liverpudlian background, and not knowing much about the world of Bollywood before her acting career, she began her journey ten years ago as she started modelling at 16, and got scouted for her first film at a pageant in Houston, Texas.
