Yet the Grecian capital\u2019s most interesting accommodations are often more modern in focus, with nary a column or marble relief in sight. Maybe that makes sense. When your biography includes such well-worn heavyweights as Socrates, Sophocles, Hippocrates, and Herodotus, maybe it\u2019s only natural to want to write a new narrative.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not as if Athens&#8217; hotels are completely divorced from the past. They just have a different era in mind. The mid-twentieth century, when the city was transforming into a glamorous modern metropolis, is a major inspiration for many. But even then, it&#8217;s all in aid of establishing a future standard.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve heard plenty about the old Athens.
