Greece: Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens
An Athens Landmark Facing the Acropolis Since 1874
Directly across from Syntagma Square and the Hellenic Parliament, Hotel Grande Bretagne has anchored central Athens since 1874, its 320 rooms and 58 suites blending old-world elegance with modern comfort. Butler service comes standard with every suite, and the Royal Suite, spanning more than 400 square meters on the fifth floor, frames views of Syntagma Square, the Acropolis, the Parliament, and Lycabettus Hill all at once.
An $88 million restoration in the early 2000s added the hotel's signature rooftop pool and the GB Roof Garden Restaurant, known for Mediterranean cuisine served against that same Acropolis backdrop, with afternoon tea served in the Winter Garden. The GB Spa rounds things out with an indoor pool, multiple saunas, and a dedicated thermal suite. Families are welcomed with complimentary cribs and infant beds.
