Top contender for Best Hotel in Europe
Since 1874 the Grande Bretagne has served as one of Europe’s unrivalled superb hotels. The bar is often meeting grounds for members of Parliament whose offices are just across the Square. The rooms are stately and the roof top bar and restaurant offer the very best views of the Acropolis.Stars of our recent stay were the 6th floor Concierge team who offerered the Best recommendations! Special thanks to Panayotis at the main Reception for solving a missing reservation with intelligence and humor.

Grand hotel
A true gem. The history, rooms, dining, service are as good as it gets. Have a meal overlooking the Acropolis. Eveything about this hotel is grand.

Do Not Book A Seventh Floor Room
There are five things I look for in a hotel: (1) cleanliness; (2) quiet; (3) comfortable bed; (4) excellent internet service; and (5) air conditioning/heat. The Hotel Grande Bretagne failed in four of the five criteria. TERRIBLE NOISE: My wife and I booked a room for four nights at an average €1,650 a night. We were in room 706, the top suite floor overlooking the Acropolis. Unfortunately, apparently most if not all rooms on the seventh floor are under the roof top dining room. The dining room floors are marble. Commencing at 5:10 am and continuing through 11:00 pm we were subjected to the continuous scraping of dining chairs as patrons were seated, left and repeatedly went to the buffet during breakfast, as well as other restaurant noise. When I requested a room change, I was told the hotel was fully booked. UNCOMFORTABLE BED: The bed was hard and dropped off on either side of the midline because it apparently hasn’t been replaced in many years. INTERNET SERVICE: The internet service is poor and somewhat difficult to access. However, for €15.00 a day one can upgrade. To pay € 1,650 a night and to have a hotel try to chisel an additional €15.00 a day for internet service is outrageous. AIR CONDITIONING: For some reason, it seemed to get hotter during the night regardless of how I tried to lower the air conditioning temperature. The rooms are on the smallish side but well appointed, the hotel has an elegance and housekeeping is good although room service was late and resulted in our not eating most of the ordered breakfast. Regardless, the bottom line is the hotel fails in four of the five above criteria and, therefore, I recommend booking at another hotel.

Very fresh ingredients. Prepared with attention to detail
Delicious We actually went back a second time to try different foods. The atmosphere was wonderful and we were looking out at the Acropolis and Parthenon.
