“A historic hotel in the heart of Athens. Find elegance in abundance throughout. Gorgeous rooms with high ceilings, large windows and filled with antiques. The marble-clad bathrooms are pretty special too. A fine-dining restaurant and glamorous bar for nights of indulgence. Highly recommended.”

Hotel Review
A grand hotel that exudes glamour. Enormous rooms bedecked with heavy drapes, elegant antique furniture, gold finishes and completely spoiling bathrooms. Dine on exemplary Mediterranean cuisine with striking views of the Acropolis and spend evenings in the hotels' award winning bar. Well positioned to explore the historic city with many sights being walking distance. A hotel worthy of its excellent reputation.

Hotel Grande Bretagne
A neo-classical 19th-century hotel in the heart of Athens, offering old-fashioned romance and contemporary comforts, including a rooftop restaurant and pool rimmed with potted cypresses and sun beds, and a spa. It's close to Syntagma Square and the Greek Parliament. Expensive, but memorable.
