Hotel Grande Bretagne

For nearly 130 years, the Hotel Grande Bretagne has been recognized as the "Royal Box" of Athens. Occupying the most prestigious block of the city's center, the Hotel Grande Bretagne stands across from Constitution Square, the House of Parliament and the National Gardens. Ideally located within short walking distance of exclusive shopping areas, restaurants, open-air cafes, museums and the business district, the hotel has hosted countless heads of state and international celebrities. Following a painstaking restoration, which took place from November 2001 to March 2003, Hotel Grande Bretagne once again provides the atmosphere and attentive service found only in the most gracious residences. The hotel was recently named to the Condé Nast Traveler magazine 2007 Gold List and to the Travel + Leisure magazine Top 500 hotels for 2007.

After a 16-month refurbishment, Hotel Grande Bretagne reopened in 2003. This landmark hotel has retained her classical and Old World elegance, while introducing the modern amenities (butler service for suite guests) that travelers have come to expect. This former residence of a Greek expatriate features state-of-the-art facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool and roof-top swimming pool, a luxurious spa and a roof-top restaurant with spectacular views of the city and the Acropolis. And it is just steps from Constitution Square, the National Gardens and Plaka (Old Town).
