Lonely Planet review
If you are wealthy or aspire to the best, the place to stay in Athens is – and always has been – the Hotel Grande Bretagne, right on the square in Syntagma. Built in 1862 to accommodate visiting heads of state, it ranks among the grand hotels of the world: no other hotel in Athens can boast such a rich history. Though its renovation is a few years distant, it still retains an old-world grandeur. There is a divine spa, and the Acropolis-view rooftop restaurant and bar are worth a visit, even if you aren’t a guest.
