Hotel Grand Bretagne
Athens
OVERVIEW
For the best views in Athens, you need to go up. Up to the top of the Acropolis, up to one of the hills, like Lycabettus, to see the Parthenon from afar, up to a rooftop bar where you can sit under a blanket of stars overlooking one of Greece’s most enduring monuments. The Hotel Grand Bretagne has one such view from its terrace, where you’ll find a rooftop restaurant that’s always a reliable choice for an outstanding meal.
The neoclassical hotel is in the heart of Athens, peering imperiously over the open spaces of Syntagma Square and the wedding cake-confection of the Greek parliament building. Its collonaded Beaux-Arts marble lobby is just the start – the hotel redefines luxury in a city known for its stylised graffiti and edgy, urban bars.
Hn bBaroque-style furniture, Persian rugs and potted palms keep the feeling traditional, but it’s the views that most people love the most. Up on the top floor there’s a glittering turquoise pool overlooking Mount Lycabettus and a roof garden with front row seats to the Acropolis.

What to do
Hotel Grand Bretagne is ideally located to explore Athens: stroll through Monasteraki’s flea markets or get lost in the winding streets of Plaka, watch the changing of the guards at Parliament, climb up the Acropolis and explore the old agora and imagine life thousands of years ago. If you’ve got the energy later, take an evening promenade through Thissio and enjoy a wine in one of its elegant bars under the watchful eye of the Acropolis.
