Reviews for Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens
Perfection
We had one very quick day and night trip to Athens and my husband splurged on the hotel and picked this one! What a hotel and service. Everything was impeccable. The room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed overlooking the main square from our balcony and catching the parliamentary guards changing over. The drinks on the rooftop bar for sunset drinks were perfect...drink and view! The piano bar looked stunning but sadly we didn't have enough time to have a sit down. The spa facilities were amazing as was the massage that I had on the first day. Service and food at the breakfast was fantastic. I would love to go back to this hotel, it was perfect.

Wonderful!
A wonderful grand dame of a hotel centrally located in Athens. We were looked after very well in a suite, the room was well appointed and in great condition. A really fantastic 2 day stay smack in the middle of Athens. Faultless.

Anniversary in Athens
Perfect location. Close to shopping, restaurants, Syntagma square. The staff is. 10/10 if you are looking for staff who is friendly and goes above and beyond this is it. We celebrated our 43rd anniversary here and had dinner at the amazing GB Rooftop restaurant with amazing views of the Acropolis. We’re highly recommend this hotel, you won’t be disappointed. Rooms are not very big but we’re had a balcony and loved that extra perk

Location, luxury and superb service make Grande Bretagne the best choice in Athens.
Prestigious and historic location. Superlative service by always smiling staff who cannot do enough for you. Our room was luxuriously outfitted but not particularly large for the rates charged. Rooftop breakfast is opulent whether you take the buffet or a la carte. Swimming pool on 7th overlooks Lycabettus Hill is on the small side and can get pretty crowded. Recommended.

Cigar Lounge review
Cigar lounge experience was awful. I went through 3 cigars that would not burn. Way too humid. On top of that expensive which I knew as it’s a high hotel. Lounge was very nice but bring your own cigars.

I traveled to Greece in June of 2004 and had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Grande Bretagne after its multimillion-dollar renovation. The hotel was absolutely impeccable in every way. Our room was palatial, the service was fantastic and the dinner we enjoyed at the rooftop restaurant was truly an evening to remember with the fantastic view of the Acropolis.

My experience with the Grande Bretagne exceeded my expectations on every account. The hotel was beautiful and the room was amazing. Dinner was exceptional - definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Greece.
