Hotels : Greece : Athens : Athina : Hotel Grande Bretagne

Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, is located in a privileged location, opposite Syntagma Square and the House of Parliament. Within walking distance of exclusive shopping areas, museums and the business district, the hotel enjoys the ideal location in the city centre. Also within easy walking distance are the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Monastiraki Flea Market, Lycabettus Hill, the Parthenon, and the National Gardens.

This eight story 19th-century building exudes wealth and refinement from the first impression; a doorman 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.

Guests are a mix of business people, tourists, politicians, and international celebrities. The hotel has been recognized and awarded numerous times by significant international communities ("The Green Key”, “Condé Nast Traveler, Gold List”, “Spa Finder Magazine”, “Travel + Leisure, T+L 500 Best Hotels”).

Each of the 320 guest rooms and suites are decorated in a lavish style, including marble-lined bathrooms. With an extraordinary network of resources, butler services are available to assist you with any special requests, from simple daily needs to theatre tickets or even private city tours. During the summer season private check-in is also available at the hotel.

Located on the ground floor, overlooking Syntagma Square, the GB Corner restaurant has been popular over the past century with hotel guests and well-heeled residents alike. Occupying a double-height space with mezzanine, it is an ideal spot to enjoy a casual or business Greek lunch. Two Corinthian columns in the lobby frame the entrance to the Winter Garden, an atrium space with a stained glass ceiling, potted palms, large mirrors, and two emblematic Oriental vases. In the morning hours English breakfast, coffee, drinks and snacks are being served. Later in the afternoon light lunch and high tea are available. Dinner is served to the accompaniment of atmospheric music. Open year-round, the GB Roof Garden restaurant commands amazing views over the city. With Acropolis in the background guests will enjoy evening cocktails and outstanding Mediterranean cuisine.

The Hotel Grande Bretagne boasts the GB Spa and health club, with an indoor pool, steam rooms and a gym, offering beauty treatments, massage and aromatherapy. A hairdressing salon is also available at the Spa.

The summer rooftop pool affords unforgettable views over the city and the Lycabettus hill. Relax under the Mediterranean sun and enjoy the “Last Cocktail”, a Luxury Collection signature cocktail at the rooftop pool bar.

The Grand Ballroom is decorated with crystal chandeliers and velvet draperies and can accommodate major events, weddings and meetings. Five fully-equipped conference and meeting spaces are ideally located with an easy access from the elevators, to host your business meetings and small private events. A well equipped business center is available at the ground floor to support your meetings. Guests can also enjoy wine tasting in The Cellar, a warm decorated room with 17th century’s furniture, which is home to more than 3,000 bottles of the finest quality.
