About Hotel Grande Bretagne

Athens' grandest hotel since 1874 — a Neoclassical palace on Syntagma Square with a rooftop restaurant offering the most iconic Acropolis view in the city, a legendary spa, and a history of hosting every head of state, writer, and notable traveler who has passed through Greece. Churchill wrote part of his WWII memoirs here.
