Reviews for Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens
Wow! Wow! Wow!
This hotel was incredible. Old school glamour with all the modern touches! We stayed only for one night and honestly the best stay I've ever had anywhere. The service was impeccable. All the nice touches in our room to welcome us for our stay. My hubby had arranged strawberries and champagne which arrived shortly after we checked in. Our room overlooked the parliament square so we were lucky enough to watch the changing of the guard from our balcony. I enjoyed a massage in the hotel spa which was incredible and much needed. We did drinks in the rooftop bar for sunset and the drinks and view was beautiful. Stunning view of the Acropolis. Sadly we missed doing drinks in the piano bar off the lobby but it looked stunning. Breakfast spread was delicious and loved all the healthy options that were available. It was an amazing 22 hours in Athens and this hotel was definitely a big reason for our incredible flying visit.

Top notch for service, location, and rest in a bustling city.
We stayed here for the beginning of our Greece trip for the heavy sightseeing leg in Athens. The hotel is centrally located, across the street from Syntagma Square, with access to subways steps away, and Ermou Street a block away, connecting you to the bustling area of shopping and restaurants. It is a full-service hotel with helpful a concierge team and a constant buzz of activity, while maintaining an elegant and peaceful lobby. We were greeted every morning at the rooftop breakfast area with a full spread of delicious food. (A special thanks to Vicky for being so warm and helpful with suggestions for our visit to the Greek islands). In the evening, the rooftop area converts into a dinner venue- excellent food and probably the best view of the lit-up Acropolis- and remains open for late-night cocktails. An excellent and easy stay to acclimate to Greece and relax after a lot of sightseeing outings. I would absolutely recommend.

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.
