Such a special occasion for us. Only one night but we will always remember our fabulous stay.
Pros:

Loved the view from the room. Loved the view from the roof top bar and breakfast area. Loved the attitude of all the staff who were exceptionally polite, friendly and helpful. Would love to stay again one day in the future.

One of the best hotels in Europe!
Pros:

Simply amazing stay. This is definitely one of the top hotels in Europe and a must visit in Athens.
We have stayed for two nights. As Ambassador Elite, we were upgraded to a Grand suite with a view of the main square. The room was luxurious and very well designed. Small touches include daily fresh flowers, welcome amenities, and fruit. Moreover, it comes with a personal butler who is there to assist throughout the stay with any request you may have.
The check-in is conducted in a separate room on the 6th floor. We were treated by Eleni, who could not have been more professional and welcoming. The butler on duty then took us to the room to show its features and help with the arrangements for the next two days.
All staff we have interacted with are professional and most importantly, incredibly friendly. It is obvious that they take pride in working for this hotel and want every guests to have an amazing stay. This shows in every interaction and tells genuine and true!
Breakfast is served on the top floor with a small, but quality buffet, complimented with à la cart selection. We have also had a dinner at the same restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious. Once again, the service was absolutely fantastic.
The spa facilities are impressive, including an indoor pool and multiple saunas.
Overall, we left impressed a wanting to come back again soon. Highly recommended!

Visit in Athens: Grande Bretagne Hotel Athens
Pros:

Fabulous heritage property right in the middle of the city and within walking distance of the ancient sites.

We booked two separate rooms, but were really happy to be upgraded to a two bedroom suite.

Staff was formal, but extremely professional and helpful. The restaurant on the roof has outstanding views of the city as well as the Acropolis. The waiters were attentive and highly responsive. The lobby has a cafe with great high tea and scones served. Again very attentive staff.

I’d highly recommend this hotel.

It’s expensive, but it’s worth it.
