At a glance

The Hotel Grande Bretagne has occupied its position on Syntagma Square since 1874, looking directly across to the Greek Parliament with the Acropolis rising behind it. In 150 years the hotel has hosted royalty, heads of state, and some of the most significant moments in modern Greek history, and that weight of history remains present in its grand neoclassical interiors.

The 320 rooms and suites pair period elegance with contemporary facilities, with 58 suite categories all arriving with dedicated butler service, up to the 400 sqm Royal Suite.

The rooftop GB Roof Garden Restaurant serves Mediterranean cooking with uninterrupted Acropolis views, while afternoon tea in the Winter Garden remains one of the more considered ways to spend an Athens afternoon. Syntagma Square places the major museums, Monastiraki, and Plaka within easy walking distance.
