This hotel is one of a kind in Athens. It was built in 1874 and is impeccable. Great vibe from rooftop garden restaurant view of Acropolis and the Olympic Stadium to a fabulous afternoon tea, and a unique relaxing cigar lounge. Spa and gym were under renovations.

This hotel truly lived up to its name, Grande, and was definitely worth the price tag. The location is excellent, offering easy walking access to the hop-on hop-off bus (directly across the road), Attica department store, Ermou Street for shopping, and many other attractions. Breakfast was outstanding — the freshest and tastiest we’ve had, both from the buffet and the à la carte menu. The rooftop views across Athens were absolutely beautiful. The staff were exceptional; Katrina at breakfast remembered our usual order from our very first visit, and her professionalism was a wonderful start to each day. The only area for improvement would be the guest rooms, which would benefit from renovation. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality 🙂

This is a true 5 star hotel in the old fashioned sense. In every touch with customers the Grande Bretagne hotel and staff strives to be perfect and welcoming. I particularly enjoyed the indoor swimming pool which is just adequately sized to swim laps. 14 metres. The views from 8th floor restaurant and bar is second to non. View over Syntagma Square, first row seats to chance of guards by Parliament, Lycabettos hill, and most spectacular view to Acropolis and the Parthenon, and beyond, the sea and Aegina. The staff deserves a special mention for being amazing and so helpful!
