Location:
The Hotel Grande Bretagne offers the best location in Athens, within short
walking distance from the business centre as well as the fashionable Kolonaki
Square with exclusive shopping, entertainment, restaurants and cafes. Also
nearby are important museums and the historic and picturesque old quarter
of Plaka with tavernas, open air coffee shops and souvenir shops. The Hotel
Grande Bretagne is an architectural landmark and the historic grande dame
of the city. From many of the rooms and suites, hotel guests can marvel
at dramatic views of the Acropolis and the changing of the guards with
the famous Ephson guards just under the former palace of the Kings, which
is nowadays the Parliament. This is also the place for the botanical gardens
called National Gardens, which are worth while visiting. The Hotel is located
27 kilometres (approximately 45 minutes) from Eleftherios Venizelos, the
new Athens International Airport.
History:
In 1872, the former residence of a wealthy expatriate Greek was lavishly
renovated and converted to a grand class “palace hotel”. Immediately, the
Hotel Grande Bretagne was ranked among Europe’s hotel legends. Host to
royalty, heads of state, international names in the arts, money and industry,
the Hotel Grande Bretagne has and will continue its historic course as
the venue of major events. The Grande Bretagne is living history: upon
its opening in 1872, the Hotel Grande Bretagne offered guests the comfort
and luxury one expected to find exclusively in the most elegant estates
and palaces of the era. Following a painstaking restoration, which took
place between November 2001 and March 2003, the Hotel Grande Bretagne once
again provides the atmosphere and attentive service found only in the most
gracious residences in the world. The bathrooms have been meticulously
re-furbished with luxurious marble and are well equipped with deluxe amenities.
Rooms
and Suites: Luxurious fabrics and restored antiques personalize the
321 rooms and suites, all newly renovated. Distinctly refined residential
elegance is reflected in each of the 59 well-appointed suites, while butlers
and staff provide unsurpassed service. All rooms and suites offer the finest
appointments: beds are cocoon of pure comfort with multiple pillows and
cloud soft douvets, plush bathrobes and slippers. The wall-to-wall marble
bathrooms are well designed with fog resistant mirrors, quality amenities
and lighted magnifying mirrors. The Royal Suite of the Grande Bretagne
offers 400 m2 / 4300 ft2 of elegance, furnished with antiques and original
artwork to create an unparalleled atmosphere of comfort and beauty. Located
on the 5th floor of the Hotel, the Royal Suite offers a panoramic view
of the city including Constitution Square, the Acropolis, the Parliament
with the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and
Lycabettus Hill.
Restaurants
and Bars: A roof top restaurant and bar providing an unsurpassed view
of the magnificent Acropolis, Constitution Square, the Parliament, National
Gardens, the old Olympic Stadium, and an overall breathtaking view of Athens.
The eclectic and imaginative menus offer an array of choices for dinner,

historic atmosphere and unique gastronomic offerings, the GB Corner transforms
lunch and dinner into a special event and a memorable experience. A tranquil
oasis in the centre of Athens in the heart of the Hotel Grande Bretagne.
The city’s most elegant and relaxing refuge for European breakfast, light
lunch, high tea and dinner accompanied with live piano music. The unique
18th century tapestry of Alexander the Great is the focal point of Alexander's
Bar. With its warm atmosphere and the walk- in cigar humidor, Alexander's
features a unique selection of premium brands, an exquisite selection of
cognacs and brandies, and of course, cigars.
