| See the Acropolis up close from the rooftop of Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens. Live like royalty in one of the 312 palatial rooms and suites, plushly furnished with antiques and cloud-like bedding. |
EXPERIENCEThe easiest way to see the sights of Athens is not from a tour bus, but the rooftop of Hotel Grande Bretagne. View the original Olympic Stadium as you swan dive into the pool; check out the Acropolis from your barstool; take in the Parthenon as you sample the finest Mediterranean cuisine.
If your one-stop tour of Athens leaves you fatigued, retire to one of Hotel Grande Bretagne's 321 rooms, where "lavish" is an understatement. Wall-to-wall marble bathrooms, antique furnishings (courtesy of Christie's and Sotheby's), and cloud-like bedding make these spaces fit for Grecian gods ... and a few lucky mortals.
On that note, we suggest a visit to the hotel's very own fountain of youth, better known as the GB Spa. Turn back the clock (at least a day) in the Thermal Suite, complete with herbal bath, laconium, grotto, sauna, ice fountain, couples retreat, and indoor pool.
