DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Grande Bretagne is an elegant 5-star hotel in central Athens minutes from the city’s designer shops and cultural highlights. Set in a 19th century building with classic interiors, it brings Athens’s history to life with the Acropolis an ever-present view.
Gourmands will be delighted with the Grande Bretagne. The Roof Garden restaurant’s New Mediterranean dishes are as memorable as its views. A cocktail or brandy in Alexander’s Bar is a perennial favourite. The Winter Garden City Lounge is wonderful for tea with piano accompaniment, plus there is a well-stocked Cellar and Cigar Lounge to explore.
As well as 320 rooms and suites marrying old-world charm with contemporary mod-cons, the Grande Bretagne has an award-winning Spa and fitness centre. Relaxing is easy thanks to an indoor pool and Thermal Suite offering a wide range of treatments and massages.
WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THE HOTEL
- Leisurely strolling. Old and new Athens are both within easy walking distance. The Parthenon, The Agora, Monastiraki Flea Market, The Parliament, Syntagma Square’s boutiques and the original Olympic Stadium can all be explored on foot.
- Rooftop dining. Book dinner for two on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Acropolis. That’s the box marked “Romance” ticked.
- Award-winning pampering. The Grande Bretagne Spa includes a herbal steam bath, amethyst grotto and laconium. Try the Ouzo oil massage for something a little different.
