At a glance
The most storied address in Athens, the Hotel Grande Bretagne has occupied its position on Syntagma Square since 1874, looking directly across to the Greek Parliament with the Acropolis rising behind it.
In 150 years the hotel has hosted royalty, heads of state and some of the most significant moments in modern Greek history, and that weight of history remains very much present in its grand neoclassical interiors.
The 320 rooms and suites blend period elegance with contemporary facilities, with 58 suite categories all arriving with dedicated butler service. The rooftop GB Roof Garden Restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine with uninterrupted Acropolis views, while afternoon tea in the Winter Garden remains one of the most considered ways to spend an Athens afternoon.
Syntagma Square places the hotel within easy walking distance of the Monastiraki flea market, the major museums, and the Plaka neighbourhood, making it as well-positioned for sightseeing as it is for business.
