Two MICHELIN KeysSource: MICHELIN Guide
The verdict

THE DOLLI is the small splurge. It has 46 rooms, Two MICHELIN Keys in MICHELIN's Athens article and a Forbes Four-Star, with a 62 m² rooftop infinity pool, heated in winter, and a rooftop restaurant facing the Acropolis.

Some of what we know is second-hand. MICHELIN's own hotel page wouldn't load, and check-in times, the 5-star category and off-site parking come from a British Airways Holidays listing.

Our routing puts the Terminal A street point about 7.5 road miles and 17 minutes away with no traffic. No transfer is mentioned; Syntagma metro is a 5-minute walk.

Book it for the pool and the view, and a taxi to Piraeus in the morning.

Book it if

  • A rooftop swim with the Acropolis in view
  • You prefer 46 rooms to 300
  • The Acropolis is about a 10-minute walk

Look elsewhere if

  • You're driving — parking is off-site, per BA's listing.
  • You were counting on the hotel to get you to the gate.
  • You want a beach.
