Hotel Grande Bretagne - Athens

The Grande Bretagne is Athens' oldest and most prestigious hotel. In the heart of the city's historical centre, overlooking Syntagma square, this recently refurbished palace hotel is adjacent to the Parliament building, between Kolonaki and Plaka.

This plush hotel, an eight floor 19th century building, radiates wealth and refinement from the very first impressions: a doorman in a bottle green cloak welcomes guests as they pass through rotating doors into a spacious lobby with mosaic floors and Persian carpets, neo-Baroque style furniture, and potted palms.

The hotel has hosted countless heads of state and guests are a mix of business people, tourists, politicians and international celebrities.

The hotel features fine restaurants, a roof garden, a lounge bar, banqueting halls, fully equipped conference and meeting spaces and a business centre. The property also hosts a Spa and healthclub, where thermal baths, a Finnish sauna and deluxe beauty treatments are complemented by a rooftop pool with Acropolis views. 

Very good hotel excellent staff excellent position continental breakfast in the room could be better
