Our Inspector's Highlights

Rooms feel like they’ve been plucked from one of Europe’s finest palaces, with gold-accented furnishings (many of which are restored, museum-quality antiques), original artwork, decadent drapes and bathrooms outfitted entirely in marble — soaking tub included.
The Athens hotel offers two pools — one on the rooftop and the other indoors at the spa — but the two-bedroom Penthouse Suite sports its own terrace with a private pool, sun loungers and an alfresco dining area for up to 10 guests.
Take a seat on one of the barstools facing the 18th-century tapestry of Alexander the Great at the aptly named Alexander’s Bar, where you can sip rare 1937 or 1940 single malt whisky from The Macallan or the elusive LOUIS XIII, Black Pearl cognac. You can also pair your spirit with a coveted Cuban cigar at colonial-style Alexander’s Lounge.
It doesn’t matter if you come to GB Roof Garden Restaurant & Bar for breakfast, lunch or dinner — the Mediterranean rooftop eatery’s panoramas of the Acropolis, Lycabettus Hill and the Parliament steal the spotlight.
Hotel Grande Bretagne boasts a central location — it’s a short stroll to shops, museums and the business district.
