There’s no shortage of reasons to visit Athens. For centuries, this has been one of the world’s most celebrated cities with food and views to die for. Now there’s a way to experience Athenian life like no one has done before: SPG Moments is auctioning off a five-course meal prepared at a table for 22 people — while suspended 164 ft (50 meters) in the air by a crane. What’s more, the tables and chairs at this “Dinner in the Sky” will slowly rotate throughout the meal, offering unprecedented views of the city below, the seaside, and, of course, the iconic Acropolis.
If the bids don’t increase dramatically, this package could be a great deal. Here’s why: The current auction price for a Dinner in the Sky meal is hovering around 25,000 Starpoints — which is equal to roughly $613, according to TPG’s valuations from this month — but a room alone at the Category 6 Hotel Grand Bretagne costs at least $416 or 25,000 Starpoints per night. So you’d getting two nights plus this crazy dinner experience and ground transportation for the “cost” of a single-night stay.
There are a total of 10 packages available, with 22 total seats at the “restaurant,” so you’ll be dining with fellow Starwood enthusiasts. The auction ends at 7:00am ET on Friday — if you have some Starpoints to spare (and you’re able to visit Athens from June 3 through June 5), now’s the time to bid.
