Athens, the birthplace of democracy, stands as one of the most historically important cities in the world. It's filled with an abundance of landmarks, foremost among them the Acropolis. Unfortunately there are only a hand-ful of luxurious hotel rooms with views of the Acropolis, but now you know where to find them, Grand Bretagne.
Originally built as a private residence, Grand Bretagne has been a popular gathering place in Athens for over a century. Located near the Royal Palace and opposite of Parliament, Grand Bretagne remains a gather-ing place for Greece's most powerful people.
The hotel's prestige is reflected in the marble lobby, decorated with antiques, Oriental rugs, plush sofas, ornate chandeliers, and tapestries. Upstairs you'll find the 364 rooms and suites that serve as the hotel's guest quarters. The twelve-foot ceilings give even the hallways a touch of drama. Elegantly decorated, the rooms are luxurious in every detail from the linens to the marble bath. For views of the Acropolis, request a Syntagma room. Downstairs you'll find the hotel's restaurant, GB Corner. Known more for its powerful clientele than the food, the restaurant is an excellent place to people-watch while enjoying Greek cuisine.
