Being by the sea, you barely need a hotel at all. Out all day in the sun and in the water - location and a friendly knowledgable host are all you really need. Breakfast is simply a bonus.
Come June, the seaside can be an expensive place to be. Especially in places on the tourist map. So, here are some great hotels on the seashore with the costs taken from summertime - not a misleading first day of opening rate. Rest assured, if you want to brave Greece in April, the rates below will likely be half.
Hotel de la Boetie, Paris
Hotel of the Bottom in my language and Hotel of Beata Hueuman if you speak interior design language. Come for the Instagram kudos, stay for the Diptique lotions and potions.

Miss Clara, Stockholm
Once a girls school, the hotel has been named after the progressive and radical principal Clara Strömberg, a pioneer in sex-ed. Design is Art Nouveau and breakfast has bread with more seeds than you can count on two hands - that’s Scandinavia for ya!

Sir Albert, Amsterdam
I have it on good authority (a girlfriend who isn’t cool but really wants to be - you know the ones?) that De Pijp is the hippiest hoppiest most happening part of Amsterdam. So bag a bed here and swing with the in crowd.

£150
Gatsby, Athens
Location is perfect, perched on the edge of Plaka and the higgledy piggledy streets full of tavernas and pussy cats but also an easy walk from Syntagma Square for the hourly changing of the guard - come for the costumes, stay for the leg kicks.
