“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 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.
