Frommer's Review
As yet, the distinctive, classy St. George does not get many tour groups, which contributes to its tranquil and sophisticated tone. The rooftop pool is a real plus, as is the excellently redesigned rooftop restaurant, the Le Grand Balcon, much-favored by wealthy Greeks for private events. Floors have differing decorative motifs, from baroque to modern Italian. Most rooms look toward pine-clad Mount Likavitos; some have views of the Acropolis. Others overlook a small park or have interior views. This impeccable boutique hotel is located in the posh city quarter of Kolonaki just steps from chic restaurants, cafes, lounges, and shops. Check out the fabulous Frame lounge in the hotel lobby after dark; this ultra-hip lounge/bar is one of the hottest Athenian destinations -- people swore to me they saw Madonna there one night in the spring.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
