Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens
Hotel History
From rockstar royalty to heads of state, everyone who’s
someone makes the “GB” their port of call while in Athens. Built in 1842, and
found right at the heart of the Constitution Square, you’ll find no other hotel
as closely linked to the city’s history, and its present- as the Hotel Grande
Bretagne. Be prepared for a succession of uniquely Greek experiences and a
hotel with a sense of place. From the comfort of the Alexander’s Bar terrace,
guests sip on cocktails while watching the changing of the guards unfold in
Syntagma Square below. The most romantic tête-à-tête in Athens is found at the
GB Roof Garden restaurant terrace where al fresco dinners come with
uninterrupted views of the Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill, while afternoon tea
amid the floral displays of the Winter Garden is practically a rite of passage
for the cities well-to-do. For undiluted Old-World opulence with the service to
match, the Hotel Grande Bretagne still holds the crown.
Notable Guests
Given its rich history, it is no wonder that the list of
royalty, heads of state, international business tycoons, and celebrities that
have stayed at the Hotel Grande Bretagne is endless. To name but a few, leading
ladies Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Maria Callas, and Brigitte Bardot all
enjoyed the regal treatment in the Royal Suite. Hollywood icons Greta Garbo,
Sean Connery, and Francis Ford Coppola have visited repeatedly, while

have resided here while on tour.
