Your “top of the world” experience starts the moment you step into one of the rooms at the Wyndham Grand Athens *****. No need to settle for the Standard, thanks to VeryChic upgrading you automatically to an Executive suite, so your only choice is which magnificent view you want to wake up to. Will it be the stunning crumbling pillars of the Acropolis or the photogenic flat-roofed white metropolis of bustling Athens? Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that, whatever your choice, you’ll feel like you’re floating above it all.
After a night in Wyndham’s own silky Egyptian cotton bedding, then a few minutes in the gleaming marble bathroom under the thundering Italian shower surrounded by modern tinted mirrors, you’ll be floating on air. Keep your head in the clouds after a hearty breakfast in the airy atrium restaurant with a treatment in the hotel’s excellent spa, before heading up to the pièce de résistance – the rooftop.
This vast area comprises a bar, a swimming pool with waterfall, and the best rooftop restaurant in Athens. If the gourmet meals and original Greek or Mediterranean-inspired tapas dishes don’t get your head swimming, the 360 degrees view certainly will, taking in the Acropolis, Lycabettus Hill, and the Saronic Gulf, with Athens jostling below between verdant mountains. Go up for a cocktail and wind up staying for dinner or a night-time swim…before you know it, you’re dancing the night away to a live DJ set.
On top of the world? Words simply don’t do the Wyndham Grand Athens ***** justice!
