Featuring a restaurant, the 5-star designer Hotel Grande Bretagne, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens is located about 25 minutes on foot from the ancient-turned-modern Panathenaic Stadium and overlooks Acropolis. The luxurious hotel is proud to feature an archaeological museum, not far from the Jewish Museum of Greece.

Location

This Athens hotel is in the very heart of the city, around 700 metres from Plaka, and only 0.7 km from Syntagma tube station. Guests can visit the war memorial "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier", which is merely a 5-minute stroll away, and the neoclassical National Archaeological Museum which is approximately 30 minutes on foot from the heritage Grande Bretagne Athens.

Located among a bar and restaurants, the smoke-free accommodation is favourable for exploring the local sights.

The nearest bus stop is Afetiria, located just 450 metres away, and Monastiraki train station is just 1.5 km away.

Rooms

Hotel Grande Bretagne, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens features 306 rooms equipped with free Wi-Fi and a multi-channel TV as well as a mini-bar and coffee/tea making facilities. They are furnished with luxurious decor. Offering such amenities as hairdryers and bath sheets, the bathrooms also include a separate toilet and a shower. The Grande Bretagne Athens has an enchanting view over the city.

Eat & Drink

The hotel offers its own à la carte restaurant, where guests can try Mediterranean dishes. The accommodation features a lounge bar that serves refreshing drinks. You can enjoy a healthy cuisine in the scala vinoteca located nearly a 5-minute walk away.

Leisure & Business

The Grande Bretagne Athens elevates guest experiences with a hot tub and a sauna, and the convenience of a team of professional health consultants provided on site. Guests can also participate in fitness classes at a gym area on the premises. A spa salon is sure to make for an excellent stay. There is a conference room and a business centre available for corporate travellers.

“In my opinion, this grande dame remains Athens' most compelling choice for travelers seeking an experience steeped in both luxury and history. The rooftop dining alone, with its Acropolis views and live jazz, creates a memory worth the trip. Service, from the doormen to the concierge, is exceptionally attentive, even if some rooms could use a modern touch.”
