Best Greece 2025 115 Boutique hotels

Welcome to your boutique hotel in Greece

Boutique rooms tend to offer a unique stay with one-off touches and design styles. Some of the most popular hotels in Greece are very accommodating but don't have a luxury feel or a boutique vibe. That's why booking a boutique hotel in your preferred destination is often the best option, especially if you're looking for an exclusive resort to stay in. Read on to find out more about boutique hotel accommodation in Greece and why it is sometimes available at very attractive prices.

Where in Greece is a good destination for booking boutique rooms?

To begin with, Athens has some remarkable suites and hotel rooms that offer luxury stays. Not only is Athens the Greek capital, but it is the center of Western culture in many respects, too. That's why so many hotel rooms in Athens are geared toward discerning guests who want a truly boutique stay. Outside of Athens, many of the Greek islands also provide luxury hotel accommodations. One of the closest island resort destinations to Athens is Naxos, which you can fly to directly or take the ferry from Athens. Naxos has a superb beach, and many hotels there have a high star rating. If you like a view of the beach from your room, then the island of Paros would also be a good place to book a boutique hotel. Paros is one of those islands that has kept its charm and traditional Greek architecture, where you can feel free from the hassles of modern life in luxury accommodations. There again, some of the best villas and suites you could wish for you and your guests to enjoy are on the volcanic island of Santorini with its distinctive black sand. Like Chania, on the Greek island of Crete, Santorini offers insight into the Minoan culture, such as the legend of the Minotaur. Crete is a big island, and Chania is now a bustling town. However, there is much more to Crete than towns like Chania because there are many boutique hotel rooms you can book in smaller resorts all over it. Finally, check out some examples of hotel rooms with views in Mykonos, among the smaller islands in Greece. Despite its size, this island has a reputation for some of the best nightlife anywhere in Greece.

What does the star rating of boutique hotels in Greece indicate?

The star rating of any hotel you might consider booking will offer a fair indication of the service level you can expect. Generally speaking, a hotel with a top rating, whether it has boutique rooms and suites or not, will have a private beach and a restaurant with a high rating in its own right. If you only want to stay by the pool and eat breakfast at your hotel's restaurant, you might not want to book a room with such a high rating. Read the full hotel description to assess why it has the rating it has and whether you could get a similar level of service at a lower price elsewhere. For example, if you want full spa facilities at your chosen destination, you will probably have to find a boutique hotel with a higher star rating. On the other hand, if you don't want a spa or would settle for a day spa in a nearby hotel or resort, why would you pay the price for one included within the price of your room? Bear in mind that the rating of a hotel in Greece will be affected by how close it is to the sea. Those with a sea view or that provide direct access to the beach tend to have a higher rating.

What makes booking boutique rooms different from standard hotel accommodation?

Typically, a boutique hotel offers a bit more to guests than regular Greek hotels do. For one thing, they can be a bit smaller with fewer rooms. Boutique hotels tend to have quirkier rooms, too, with different layouts. Some have private balconies or terraces, while others, especially those that offer suites, may have a private pool for you to swim in. Expect free Wi-Fi, a bar, room service, and special offers on excursions when you book a boutique hotel. In short, you can still expect a modern standard of service and amenities, just in a hotel with a better design aesthetic and rooms that are more individualized.

Which dates are best to book boutique hotels in Greece?

Whether you are looking at a Greek island or the mainland for your chosen destination, Greece starts to enjoy pleasant weather from around Easter. If the idea of heading to the beach for some springtime sun appeals to you, then choose a resort with vacation dates set anywhere from the start of April. Of course, dates in May and June tend to be set for better weather still, which is ideal if you also want to swim in an outdoor pool during your stay. Prices go up in the summer months, so set your budget accordingly if you're seeking a boutique room on an island, which will only have a set number of rooms available in the peak season, of course. Note, too, that getaway dates that coincide with popular holidays like Christmas will also tend to lead to a higher room price per night. Nevertheless, exploring the Greek islands, their stunning views, and beaches will make for a memorable vacation at any time of the year.
