Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens

Check in fast and efficient but room not ready (we were early, had 45 minute wait but still room available at 11:30 AM); bellhop friendly and helpful with bags delivered quickly once room available; room was on small side, attractively furnished, bed comfortable; bathroom had just one basin, and tub/shower combo that was difficult to get in/out; TV had no FOX or ESPN channel!!; no upgrade for my platinum elite status but did provide breakfast... All in all, a good stay in a classic, luxury hotel with prime location on Syntagma Square.

What can I say other than this hotel exceeded every expectation and gave us memories my husband and I will remember forever. Every detail of this hotel is luxury - whether it be the staff going above and beyond to make your wishes true, the welcome to the restaurant feeling like you’re dining with friends, or even just the gentle smiles from those working - this hotel is perfect. The rooftop bar and restaurant - GB Rooftop and Restaurant - is truthfully the most beautiful restaurant we have ever had the pleasure of dining in and Anastasia went above and beyond to make our dining experiences, whether food or drink, one to remember. It is worth asking to be on the waiting list for a table with a view so you can enjoy the beauty of the Acropolis all lit up at night in it’s beauty. It’s a memory to remember and treasure. The hotel made our honeymoon a beautiful and unforgettable experience and I, for one, hope I am lucky enough to return soon and experience this all once again.

This hotel may be a bit formal for many, and the prices are not for the faint of heart. But if you're looking to stay at a wonderful hotel, at a great location in Athens, then The Grand Bretagne is the best! The rooftop pool is very nice, and the rooftop restaurant & bar should not be missed!

This hotel is billed as “luxury” accommodation… not very luxurious when our room wasn’t ready more than an hour and a half after our supposed check-in time. Front Desk Staff also quite unapologetic once the room was actually ready. (Bellhops that delivered our bags were great and timely!). We stayed at the wonderful Fairmont in Monaco at the beginning of our trip. THAT place lived up to the word “luxury”. This place is simply mid, perhaps below mid for the price. Would not recommend and won’t return.

Great hotel, location, amenities, service is incredible, a must stay while in Athens! We enjoyed our stay and it was one of the best hotels we’ve had the pleasure of visiting. From the time you arrive, you are treated like royalty. It’s not cheap but worth it.
