We are booked to spend 12 nights in Greece this June and the only location I am not sure of which hotel I want to stay in is Athens. Athens will be our first stop during the trip and we are only staying there 2 nights due to all the comments I have read on FT.

Athens offers numerous points redemption options and we are currently holding 2 nights in the following 3 hotels:
- Radisson Blue Park Hotel - 2 nights Business Class room at 57k points thanks to the CC Visa
- Grande Bretagne (Starwood Platinum)
- Hilton Athens (Hilton Gold)

I need to make a decision shortly on which one we are actually staying at and cancel the other options. Based solely on luxury and location, the Grande Bretagne is a no brainer (plus a SPG Platinum upgrade could also be in the cards) but we are using a lot of SPG points on a 5 night stay at the Blue Palace on Crete. The location and quality of the Radisson and Hilton seem to be in a category below the Grande Bretagne. Have tons of Club Carlson points so using some of them on this trip seems like a good idea. I just can't decide!

Anyone in the forum ever stay at the Radisson? TA reviews are good and the staff and the restaurant seem to be the bright spots of the hotel.
