Cost is up there, but the rooms are really great. Quiet night's sleep as well. The service was top notch. Have been to a lot of 5 star properties and this one was tops for the service at the bar and breakfast buffet. Wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed more of what the property offered. The location is great--walkable to the desirable areas to visit in Athens. Easy location to get cabs also. Rooftop view from the bar is epic.

I visited the rooftop bar as a non-hotel guest and really enjoyed the experience. The view of the Acropolis was absolutely beautiful, the cocktails were delicious and the staff were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit for the view alone.

I would have given this hotel an outstanding review as it is beautiful and in a perfect location. Service very attentive. However the concierge team caused us to have a miserable 40th anniversary evening when they failed to tell us that the restaurant where they had made us a reservation was closed for an event. They in fact confirmed our reservation when we arrived but the next day at the restaurant, we were informed that they were closed and did not even have us on the list. Impeccable hotel but this is not what you expect from a hotel of this caliber and expense.

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.
