Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens, Attica, Greece | Hotel

The Hotel Grande Bretagne is not simply a luxury Hotel in Athens, Aegean Sea, (surely the most luxurious establishment in Greece), it is an institution in itself. Ever since it opened its doors to receive the first visitor in 1874, the Hotel Grande Bretagne has been a point of reference in the social, political and economic life of Athens, Aegean Sea, and, by extension, of the whole of Greece.
Over the 133 years of the Hotel' s existence one also observes the evolution of a basically agricultural society -just half a century after the country's liberation from the Ottoman rule and the creation of a tiny, impoverished country- through the gradual stages of development leading to a modern State and the creation of an important middle class with a European character.
The Hotel Grande Bretagne has been restored to its former glory and transformed into an establishment capable of meeting the modern requirements of Hotel hospitality, while simultaneously contributing to the upgrading of Athens' Hotel infrastructure.
Positioned on Syntagma Square, just opposite the Parliament Building, the Hotel Grande Bretagne puts visitors within easy reach of almost everything in Athens, Aegean Sea. The Athens Metro and bus lines all converge here, and private taxis are abundant. It is also within easy walking distance to many museums and shopping areas in Athens.
The Hotel Grande Bretagne offers a gleaming version of fin-de-siécle luxury, with gilded woods, fine fabrics, and chandeliers in the public ares. It is definitely a classically European grand Hotel rather than a classically Greek one.
