Gina United States of America

The staff were all incredible and so accommodating. It was our honeymoon and everyone (especially reception) went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. One of the nicest and most flawless experiences. Breakfast on the rooftop was delicious. They were helpful with any questions we had. Also they provided turndown service , daily maid service and staff made their way around with complimentary water visits which is really nice because we haven’t stayed in a hotel in awhile with covid that did this.

Stay in the heart of Athens – Excellent location – show map

With a prime location, opposite Constitution Square and the House of Parliament, the Grande Bretagne features luxurious rooms and stunning city views from its magnificent rooftop terrace. WiFi is offered in all rooms and areas.

The lavish rooms are appointed with the finest furnishings. The marble bathrooms feature a vanity counter, separate bathtub, and shower. Some rooms have balconies facing the Acropolis, and the daily changing of the guard at the parliament building.

From Grande Bretagne’s Roof Garden Restaurant you can see the original Olympic Stadium as you dove into the pool; the Acropolis from your barstool; the Parthenon as you sample the finest Mediterranean cuisine.

The Grande Bretagne Spa offers a thermal suite, complete with herbal bath, grotto, ice fountain, couples retreat and indoor pool. Guests can indulge in ouzo oil massages.

From private dining parties at The Cellar, to VIP airport transfer, the legendary Grande Bretagne prides itself on its service.

The multi-awarded 5-star hotel is walking distance of exclusive shopping areas, museums and the business district. The Ancient Agora and the Acropolis are 1,950 feet away.
