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.

I have no words to describe this hotel and its amazing staff. My expectations were high based on the reviews, but they were truly exceeded. My husband and I stayed an extra day in Athens, both before and after our cruise, before returning to Florida. I had emailed the concierge and secured transportation easily from the airport. Upon arrival, we were able to make a reservation at the rooftop restaurant (where we dined again on our second night!) as well as arrange transportation for the next day to the port and a tour of the Acropolis and other sites. Our room both nights had a view of the Acropolis and was worth the extra money for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We stayed on the fourth floor the first night and the seventh floor on the second night. Since the restaurant is right above the 7th floor, it was a little bit noisier, but not unreasonable. The location is also ideal for exploring on your own to discover the sights. I will never forget this stay. Thanks to all of the fantastic staff for meeting our every need!

This place is always excellent. The location is superb and the staff are amazing. Somehow, I always need a little extra help when I am there, and they always come through. If you have the option, you should definitely stay here.

This hotel was chosen after looking at the Marriott site and trusted the reviews. Our 5 day stay was fantastic. The room was great, but the service was unbelievable! Maria at the restaurant was fantastic! I think that if you're going to Athens this hotel is difficult to beat!!

Just completed an incredible stay at Hotel Grande Bretagne. As other reviewers have said, the staff are marvelous, in particular Anastasia and Maria who handle the online chat, and Rania at the front desk. We had to make multiple changes to our plans due to terrible airline delays, and they accommodated our every need. They even organised breakfast and early check-in when we finally arrived, which meant we were enjoying coffee, Greek pastries and the breathtaking view of the Parthenon from a sunlit balcony just a few minutes later. The facilities are spectacular, spotless and well-maintained, whether it is the shop, the spa and fitness room, the grand lobby bar or the first floor lounge, which is in a beautifully landscaped private courtyard. We are returning to HGB to end our vacation and can't wait to experience it again. Highly recommend the hotel and their amazing team.

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.
