Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel
From the location to the décor, from the spa to the dining, Hotel Grande Bretagne brings old-world Greek elegance together with modern luxuries for the ultimate Athenian experience.
Hotel Grande Bretagne – Perfect Location
The Hotel Grande Bretagne sports incredible views of the Acropolis and Parthenon, two of Greece’s most powerful historical sites. Other significant sites within viewing distance are Constitution Square, Parliament, Lycabettus Hill, the original Olympic Stadium, and other components of Athens history.
Step outside the Hotel Grande Bretagne to witness the ritual changing of the Evzone guard in front of the Parliament building, or check out the National Archeological Museum. Visit the Temple of Poseidon, or check out the Temple of Zeus, just 700 meters south of Syntagma Square.
Other nearby sites include: The Plaka, a neighborhood of archeological sites with ouzerias and tavernas, flower shops and artisan stands, and other Athenian local options; The Psiri, home to Athens’ nightlife with live musical performances; and Ancient Agora, the most famous agora in Greece, the center of Athenian government in 6th century BC.
Hotel Grande Bretagne – Incredible Décor
The 5-star Hotel Grande Bretagne displays Greek culture in many elements of its interior and exterior design. Intricate moldings and classic Greek designs lend credence to its Athenian structure, and all 320 elegant guest rooms offer stunning view of the beautiful courtyard or the city’s historical landmarks.
Rooms at Hotel Grande Bretagne are customized with luxurious fabrics and original pieces of art and combine classic Greek décor with state-of-the-art modern enhancements, including flat screen plasma televisions and high speed Internet access. Room features may include antique pianos, marble-clad fireplaces, or other elements of classic European stylings. Some rooms include complimentary Greek pastries and canapés, making your Greek experience a little more authentic.
Ask about PURE Rooms, specially designed for guests with sensitivities, allergies, or asthma.
Hotel Grande Bretagne – Inspiring Spa
Try an Ouzo Oil Massage or their Thermal Suite. Each month offers a different specialty treatment, designed by spa experts to bring together philosophies of eastern and western culture.
